OK, maybe the program is a bit braindead but actually none of the 
gromacs programs checks for double filenames. If you check your 
directory you'll find a backup file #angdist.xvg.1# with the average 
angle as well as angdist.xvg with the distribution. The average is 
written first, then the file is backuped and the distribution is written.
