Just the $0.02 that I always seem to contribute in these types of discussions - 
the topology you have shown below contains some likely problems.  The charges 
(and massive charge group size) can lead to artifacts.  We've got a paper due 
out soon about the implications of incorrect charges, but I would advise you 
that this topology should *not* be used for production simulation.  You'd be 
better off spending the time to properly parameterize the molecule rather than 
run a bunch of simulations and get questionable (at best) or wrong (at worst) 
results.
