With earlier versions of Amber 12 (14) we have experienced this type of
error when the memory of the node was not enough to accommodate all MPI
threads requested ... Usually, we solved by reserving the node memory
and asking for less MPI threads than the node can accommodate ...

But I am not sure if this is the same with the new MMPBSA in Amber 16.
To test, you could easily check the memory consumption for 1 frame (its
in MMPBSA output) and see how many such calculations your node memory
can accommodate simultaneously ... In this way, you will know if this
is likely to be your problem and how many threads you can accommodate.

Having said this, the error is pretty generic (like a seg fault) and
there are different reasons for it .....
