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.
