I assume you're using Dr. Tieleman's lipids ...
The problem comes from the imaging of the lipids, since if you look 
closely, you'll see some lipids are starting on one side of the box and 
terminates on the other side.

I've explained in detail how to proceed to correct this, please have a 
look at my message from "30.11.2006 17:57".

Cheers,

Stéphane
