Indeed, and perhaps I should have been more clear in what I was saying.  The 
error message he's getting is related to duplicated atom indices (something I've 
never seen), and the .rtp entries have bonds for "-C2  C1" and "C1  C2" so it is 
quite likely that something in pdb2gmx is getting screwed up and it's causing 
repetition.  This is why the proteins are still a good control; the linkages are 
between non-consecutive atoms, i.e. "-C   N"  but not "N   C."
