The mailing list does not accept attachments.  Please copy and paste the text 
into an email.  We may not need the whole topology, but a description of what 
you're working with is important.  If you are using some novel molecule for 
which you've generated parameters, those can be a source of problems.

Increasing the timestep in the case of instabilities is the exact opposite of 
what you should do.  Please read the link I posted earlier.
