I doubt that this has anything directly to do with the number of atoms. We
run systems with more than 100000 atoms a lot.
Did you get any output? Does the segmentation fault occur immediately (i.e.
before the first energy step) or later? Does the job work in serial mode?
There is something odd about your system: a protein with 1000 residues would
ordinarily have about 16,000 atoms (not including the solvent). Is there
something unusual in your sequence that it has so few atoms?
Unfortunately, a segfault is not a very informative error message. But
usually some detective work can narrow down the possible/probably causes of
such a failure.
