I don't think that's true. Stacking boxes with -nbox 3 3 3 (without -dist)
gives a big box which you can minimize and equilibrate with no trouble. Both
with and without -dist 0.21 0.21 0.21 (0.21 is a suitable MARTINI -vdwd for
genbox), you get big water boxes which behave well. The problems start when
you use them as solvents in genbox.

Xavier's suggestion (stack, minimize, equilibrate, manually cut with a
script) works fine, thanks for the suggestion.

Seems to me there might be a bug in genbox, but I'm not the right person to
make such claims.
