You will probably need to get a better starting structure, since your
starting energy is 10**11. Here are some thoughts.

(1) just try a short protein-only minimization before solvating.

(2) always set ntpr =1 when you are having troubles at the very beginning.

Even so, you shouldn't get a bus error....if you want, you could send
your input files, along with info about yoru MACHINE file and hardware
configuration. If we can reproduce the problem, we can hope to track
it down. Or, you could try using a debugger yourself, if you know how
that is done.

...good luck...dac
