You are heating your system. This increases the velocities on the atoms.
RATTLE and a timestep greater than 1.0 should generally not be used when
heating a system. Set your timestep to 1.0 and change "rigid all" to "rigid
water". Heat your system, equilibrate, then try to switch back to timestep
2.0 and "rigid all."
