Eli:

It was a joke.

I want to clarify your relation to Moeed since he asked the SAME
question about the compression of the SAME polymer starting from the
spring of 2010, but never followed all our advices. Now, you start to
ask nearly the SAME questions about absolutely the SAME system. So, I
eventually wonder what the hell is going on.

Please, explore the archive of the mailing list to see all the remarks
devoted to your system. There is no sense to write the SAME things
once more. In the last case, your problem seems to be connected with a
bad input file (conf.gro). So, examine its content attentively and let
us know if this helped.
