The proper protocol is to upload the files somewhere publicly accessible and 
post a download link.  I generally do not like large, unrequested attachments.

The sys.gro file is positioned within a box that is too large, a fact that is 
easily observable in VMD.  I suspect that the void space results in instability. 
  As for the charge group error from grompp, I still can see no reason for it.
