Hi George,
Indeed those errors are not very informative, but also farily common with
membrane systems. Maybe David can find something wrong there, but some tips
that usually help is to minimize using CPU code, rather than GPU. Sometimes
and rather randomly an atom could get "lost". Also increasing the number of
atoms included in the nonbonded pairlist with skinnb in the first
equilibrations steps helps in some cases. For the you can add something
like this at the end of your input file (default is 2A):
 &ewald
  skinnb = 5
 &end
