[gmx-users] editconf and g_rmsdist

It's a bit weird indeed. You might be right that it's due to round-off
errors. You can try to copy the original gro file and replace the last
line with "   4.00000   4.00000   4.00000" to set the box manually.
That should rule out whether it's the box, which I can hardly imagine.
The other test is to add a shift, but you'd want to make sure that
rounding could get an issue then...

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk
