Exactly how did you cap your terminal residues, i.e., which patches
(PRES) are you using? If, by ethanolamine you mean RESI ETAM in the
topology file, then this is a complete molecule per se, and by default
is not linked to other residues ... it would explain why it 'breaks'
during your simulation.
