The XL OpenMP runtime on Blue Gene/Q didn't support nested parallelism.

However, in any case, you need to set the environment variable
OMP_NESTED=TRUE for this to work.  GCC does not enable nested
parallelism by default in the versions I tested (GCC 4.2.1 over LLVM
and GCC 4.7 on Mac, GCC 4.4.6 on BG/Q)

(Note that I tried to respond via
http://gromacs.5086.n6.nabble.com/OpenMP-on-Bluegene-Q-runtime-error-td5001476.html
but it hasn't been accepted yet.  I apologize if this is a duplicate.
This answer is more complete anyways.)
