Are you submitting the job to a queue?  If so, please provide the entire script 
you're using to execute mdrun.  Does the problem persist in newer versions of 
Gromacs?  It's always best to start from the newest available version, rather 
than troubleshoot an old one, just to find out the problem has already been 
resolved.
