Indeed. I am probably the one person who has spent most time developing 
g_hbond over the last two years or so and I'm not exactly sure of how 
the -ins option is supposed to work, why it doesn't work, and how it 
interferes with other g_hbond functionality. Don't expect it to be fixed 
soon, at least not by me. More likely, it will turn up as a separate 
tool when the analysis tools become more modular some time in the future.
