It depends whether it is broken. Try reading it again on another machine
with or without NFS. I have seen such things on a machine with broken
hardware. The question is whether this error occurred during writing the
trajectory or during gmxcheck.

If it is reproducible on different machine, chances are your file is
broken. Check the hardware used for generating it.
