Immediately there is a problem. Your cutoff values in the .mdp files (which are
incorrect for Gromos96 53A6) are larger than the size of the small system will
permit, causing grompp to fail with a fatal error. If you're overriding this
error with -maxwarn, then you're trying to simulate an unreasonable system since
it violates the minimum image convention.
If you're working with other systems that are larger or different, please
provide those files instead. I've already had to make a large number of
corrections to these files (mostly in atom naming/capitalization) to get grompp
to even run, so parsing out those errors is somewhat annoying.
