I think the timestep is way to much, I hope you know what you are doing.

Regarding your problems - I can imagine quite a few possible reasons.
Can you get any info from stderr? is it serial or parallel run? I
experienced some implementations of mpi didn't kill all child processes
when crashed. Are you sure there is enough memory in your machine?
