Dunno. 3.2.1 is a very old version - you should be planning your upgrade 
to version 4 as soon as it's out, unless you need compatibility for some 
reason.

Otherwise the only reason I can think that gmxdump might succeed where 
trjconv doesn't is that it isn't actually an XTC file, but some other 
format with an .xtc extension.

Try to replicate your problem with a small simulation. If you can, then 
you probably have a real issue, but this is very unlikely. If you can't 
replicate it, then it seems you've probably mangled something and we 
can't help you.
