How are you comparing "backbone structure" to "solvent structure?" I assume
the crash relates from poor checking of whether the index groups have the
right sizes and range to work, but part of the problem might be trying to
do something that doesn't make sense. If it does make sense, then we would
appreciate opening an issue at https://redmine.gromacs.org and attaching
enough files for us to replicate the issue.

Comparing backbones from the complex simulation to backbones from the
