Only once."

Does this mean you have only one solute?  Or that you have only one entry for 
solute, which you then have multiple molecules of in the system?  There 
certainly can be confusion if you aren't describing your system clearly.

The reason for asking is that the problematic atom numbers (which are greater 
than 42, as Chris pointed out) would indicate one of two possibilities:

1. CIP is present multiple times, and one of those molecules (at least) is 
having a problem.
2. There is one CIP, it does not appear as the first molecule in the system (due 
to the numbering), and perhaps (as I suggested) there was some sort of incorrect 
order.

If neither of these is true, then it is important to know.
