could you try with pbc = full in the mdp file? 

If I try this I get the error message from grompp

creating statusfile for 4 nodes...
ERROR: invalid enum 'full' for variable pbc, using 'xyz'
Next time use one of: 'xyz' 'no'

I'am using version 3.1.4 as in case of the first runs.
But also in the manual of version 3.2 I do not find the option pbc = full.

So the problem is still unsolved.
Any further suggestion ?

Thanks again.
