Usually there are far more catastrophic problems than nstlist, and the only case 
I've found where anything improves is during EM where nstlist must be 1. 
Decreasing the value may work, but I would be very surprised, and ultimately 
there is a price to be paid in terms of performance that may not be necessary.

The OP should post a full description of prior minimization and equilibration as 
well as the full .mdp file for the crashing run.  Without that information, it's 
totally guesswork as to what's going on.
