I think the problem comes from pattern matching in the script.  With large 
bilayers, the atom names and numbers will not be split correctly; this could be 
causing a problem for you.  I'd again suggest that you contact the developer of 
the program and discuss this issue, as it is not really a Gromacs problem and 
only a few people on this list really use such programs.  I think you'll find a 
resolution faster that way.
