This is probably a problem with your initial structure; use the checkoverlap
command in ptraj to see if two atoms are very nearly on top of one another.

Also, set ntpr to 1 and maxcyc to a small number like 20, in order to get more
detailed information about what is going on. If you find bad parts of the
structure, you will have to correct them.

Aside: nothing is gained by using a very large cutoff here: consider using the
default.
