The pre-SMD NPT ensemble has nothing to do with any of the configurations 
generated during SMD.  The coordinates and ensemble information in NPT.cpt 
reflect the position-restrained system prior to the application of the steering 
force.

You should not use this NPT.cpt file for anything after SMD.  I explained an 
appropriate workflow in my last message.
