Nevertheless, I don't solicit extra work.  Please keep all Gromacs-related 
questions on the mailing list.

The risk you take is that the person from whom you're asking advice has no idea 
what the problem is.  That is the case here.  I have never had a need to use 
g_hbond -hx, so I have no idea what the problem is.

It sounds like there *may* be some problem with this option in newer versions of 
Gromacs, but that is pure speculation.  If you can show output from each version 
to compare, that would be useful, clearly indicating the version of Gromacs used 
to obtain each, along with the *exact* command line used to produce the output, 
maybe that will be illustrative to someone who knows more than I.  Be sure to 
also describe how each version of Gromacs was compiled.  As described repeatedly 
on the gmx-users list, using gcc-4.1.x often causes analysis tools (among 
others) to produce strange results.
