You see a difference likely because you are invoking the command incorrectly 
(with overlapping index groups) and it is affecting the way the donor and 
acceptor arrays are constructed.  The proper method of analysis is to monitor 
H-bonds within "group 18" and then between "group 18" and whatever part of the 
protein that does not overlap with it.
