Justin,
A few days ago I experienced the same problem with genbox in gmx-4.0-beta. I didn't
pay much attention to it since it's just CVS but it actually was
permanently present. gmx-4.0 compiled with the same parameters on the same system does not
give this error.

Xianghong,
There's no such problem in gmx-3.3.3 and earlier ones. I would suggest
you to use them to avoid much headache.
