It could be that grompp estimates the number of degrees of freedom
incorrectly. Please check the number. If you have a CNT in principle
every carbon has three bonds.  If you use constraints that will mean
that each carbon has 1.5 (3 - 3*0.5) degrees of freedom. If you do not
use constraints it should simply be 3 per carbon.
