[gmx-users] help with mpirun and system exploding during heating

I finallly managed to compile gromacs with mpi support, thanks to this
mailing list, but i encountered some problems during my heating process.
I typed the command grompp -np 4 ....
and then mpirun -np 4 mdrun -...
that work out just fine for my minimization, but my heating well i think it
all collapsed. the warning comes out like this.
This first line is the end of many others that look almost the same.
Well, I am new at doing parallel runs, but I didn't use to have this type of
problem when i used mdrun without parallel support.
I would like, if possible, some advice on the problem.
Thank you in advance.

These are ignored for the rest of the simulation
This usually means your system is exploding,
if not, you should increase table-extension in your mdp file

One of the processes started by mpirun has exited with a nonzero exit
code.  This typically indicates that the process finished in error.
If your process did not finish in error, be sure to include a "return
0" or "exit(0)" in your C code before exiting the application.

PID 6888 failed on node n0 (127.0.0.1) with exit status 1.
