Can you run the calculation without MPI? 3D-RISM requires significantly more memory when performing polar decomposition. If you are running multiple jobs with polar decomposition on the same machine, you may run out of memory.

Can you find the output file for which 3D-RISM crashes? It should be named something like '_MMPBSA_complex_rism.mdout.0’. Post the last 20 lines or so here.
