Yes, that is expected. The time for each frame has been computed by adding up the size of each time step stored in a floating-point variable. Such algebra is different from normal algebra - see http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Floating_Point_Arithmetic. So some time frames will be "right" and some will be a bit out. Look at what gmxcheck says about the frame you have obtained.

Hi Justin,
  In many of the frames, if I use -b and -e to be same , it works
For example, I found if I use -b 16 -e 16, it gives me the the snapshot at 16ps. But, in many cases like 14ps, it is not working. Also, I tried -b 13 -e 14 -dump 14 . It does not work saying 'WARNING no output, trajectory ended at 14'
Any help will be appreciated.
Sanku

So, I am trying to get "-b 14 -e 14" command work . So, I was wondering whether you have any clue how to get around with this.

If I recall, -b and -e cannot be the same. This is the reason for -dump. It might be worth a try to see if trjconv -b 13 -e 14 -dump 14 speeds things up any.
