There could be all sorts of things that fail, including the non-bonded list
generation, and many other things, since Amber is built with 32-bit integers.
You don't say whether you are using sander or pmemd, nor how many atoms you
have. You may be way outside the range that Amber was written for, or has been
tested for. I'm assuming that you aren't running atomic or molecular
simulations (one could put about 22 million water molecules into a 900x900x900
box, and I'm pretty sure nothing in our codes would work at that size limit.)
We've never even considered interactions that would operate on the length
scales you are describing.
Bottom line, you probably are going to have to learn how to use a debugger and
find the origin of segfaults on your own.
...good luck....dac
