My system consists 1000 waters and 18 NA and 18 CL. And the SOL alone has such problem. Could anyone give me a clue of what may be the cause of the misfit of the temperature? Thank you very much!

Note that g_traj warns that constraints are not taken into consideration when 
printing temperatures.  This is likely where the discrepancy lies.
