MD is chaotic, so you may not get the same result every time you run a 
simulation.  Since you've not said how quickly the seg fault occurs it is 
exceptionally hard to diagnose.  Generally, seg faults with mdrun occur because 
the system crashes from an instability.  Without substantially more information 
(system contents, .mdp settings, relevant log file output, etc) there is not 
much more to suggest.
