This right here hints at your problem. It looks like a couple of atoms have
come very close to one another, or some other source of large forces caused
one atom to go flying away too rapidly. You should visualize your
trajectory to see if you can see what's happening. The resulting clash is
causing SHAKE to fail, which is causing the simulation to bomb out.

See if you can reproduce the problem at the same step (maybe you need to
minimize and heat to relax bad contacts).

Good luck!
