Dear Gromacs users,

I am want to simulate water on a  substrate.
I have a water.pdb file with the coordinates of a cuboid of water and a 
substrate.pdb file with the coordinates of the substrate. The box dimensions 
along the x and y directions are identical for both  files.
I run two simulations to minimise both structures separately. I get no error, 
meaning the topology file must be correct (is this a correct assumption?) This 
also ensures that all atoms in the minimised.pdb files are within the box I 
have specified  (as opposed to before, when some atoms were slightly outside).
I then have a script to merge both minimised .pdb files.
I minimise the system and get a segmentation fault:

40783 Segmentation fault

Further, in the file.log I get:


Steepest Descents:

   Tolerance (Fmax)   =  6.00000e+01

   Number of steps    =       100000

I have visualised the input merged.pdb file and have also checked the minimum 
and maximum coordinates of water and substrate and I am sure there is no atom 
overlap. In fact, water and substrate atoms are separate by more than 3A.  ( I 
have also tried previously with smaller separations).

What could else could I check?

Thanks,
Amanda
