Reply to the message, strip out any unnecessary posts in the digest, and change 
the subject line back to what you originally set it as (i.e., not "gmx-users 
digest...").  I must insist that you keep all correspondence on the list so that 
others can benefit from the conversation, and hopefully help out if necessary.

What about my suggestion for using g_traj -b and/or -e to write just a few 
frames?  This would be a far more useful test.

Your problem is from an analysis tool, not from any of these files.  Your 
simulation successfully ran, but your analysis broke down.  The only file worth 
checking would be the .trr file (using gmxcheck), in case it was corrupted 
during the run.

I don't have the means or reason to re-run your system from the start.  As I 
said, the problem is with an analysis tool, not the run itself.

If g_traj is still failing, please post a complete description of your hardware, 
compilers, etc including all of the following:

1. Gromacs version
2. Compilers used (version is especially important)
3. Installation commands (configuration)
4. Hardware and OS
