Are you saying there's actually a mixture of both CH2r and CH2R in the pdb2gmx 
topology?  As far as I can tell, all Gromos96 parameter sets (45a3, 53a5, 53a6) 
now use CH2r.  In past versions of Gromacs, 45a3 used CH2r, but 53a5 and 53a6 
used CH2R.

Sounds like someone was playing with your force field files.  Start from a fresh 
Gromacs installation and see if that solves your problem.  Version 4.5.1 is 
internally self-consistent and should have no problems.
