I just used this topology in conjunction with popc128a.pdb (with some naming adjustments to match the topologies), and everything worked fine. I am using version 4.0.5, as well.

Are you running grompp on a local workstation, or on a remote filesystem? I have noticed sporadic, unpredictable seg faults in grompp which I presume are due to NFS blips on our cluster.

Have you recompiled without --enable-mpi, as I suggested before? I don't know if that's the problem or not; do other systems (proteins in water, or something else reasonably simple) result in the same problem?

and here's my ff_dum.itp:

; These constraints are used for dummy constructions as generated by pdb2gmx. ; Values depend on the details of the forcefield, vis. bondlengths and angles

Thanks for your help!
