Dear Marek,
You probably need to increase the skin distance in the simulation. See the
command 'setmd skin' in the user guide and the description of the skin distance
in the original Espresso paper:
Limbach et al., Computer Physics Communications, 174 (2006); see page 715 in
particular.
The skin distance is the difference between cell size (cells are subdivision of
the simulation box that are assigned to each CPU) and maximal interaction
range. If the skin is too small then bonded particles might not be able to
communicate, and so the bond is broken.
Best,
Tristan
