loadtotalforces: 1000+ pN per atom!

Fellow NAMD users,

         Using the new "loadtotalforces" in TCL, I am reading -1500 - 1500
pN of forces on the selected atoms in my protein (which happen to be the
two sulphur atoms in a disulfide bridge). I have never used
"loadtotalforces" before and I am wondering if the forces I am getting are
reasonable. I am running a constant-velocity pulling simulation, and I am
not adding any external constant force to the protein.

         Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
