Dear Gromacs experts,

I ran a Gromacs simulation (with Gromacs 4.5.4) on a BlueGene/P system and generated a trajectory file. However, when I performed analysis on this file (traj.trr) (for example using g_clustsize), the following error was encountered:
-------------------------------------------------------
Program trjconv_d, VERSION 4.5.1
Source code file: trnio.c, line: 68

Fatal error:
Float size 164738970. Maybe different CPU?

I used the post processing tool (g_clustsize) from different versions of Gromacs (4.5.4, 4.5.1, 4.0.x) on both the front end and back end nodes of the BlueGene. I even tried using g_clustsize built on a Linux, but encountered the same error. I was wondering if anyone can shed me some lights on how to resolve this problem. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

The simplest explanation for the symptoms is that your trajectory file is corrupt somehow - most likely because of something someone did to the file, or to the file system. The size of a .trr file is linear in the number of frames, so if you can run a short version of the simulation separately, you can estimate how big this file should have been. gmxcheck is available to probe the integrity of the file, but I expect it will also simply tell you something is catastrophically wrong.
