One more comment:
Usually the energies at restart will be pretty much identical, within
the precision with which you saved your coordinates and velocities.
The non-bonded pair update problem will show up at longer time scales.
Running a 500 ps simulation in one go, or from 10 ps pieces with
restart after each piece will give you different results.
Cheers,
Alexandre
