It's always safer to make a copy of the trajectory and do any sort of operation 
on it.  I doubt that mdrun and g_rms would conflict as far as creating errors in 
the calculations themselves, but you may run into simple I/O trouble if you've 
got multiple processes trying to open/close a trajectory file at the same time.
