How many molecules are in H.gro and H-box.gro?  Is H.gro a single molecule?

You've been advised again and again that building enormous systems in one step 
will not work.  This is not a robust approach, as your computer clearly doesn't 
have the memory to handle it.  Before you were trying to add 80000 molecules, 
now 100000 certainly won't work.  I doubt the combination of -cs and -nmol is 
even sound in the first place.

Is there a particular reason you feel you need to construct a system containing 
100000 molecules?  Will a smaller, more manageable, system not suffice?
