Cause and effect.  You have to visualize everything at every step.  Did the 
output of minimization look OK?  Did you investigate the atoms that pdb2gmx 
warned you about?  Or did you just rely on a number in a .log file?  Always 
confirm that things are OK!  The energy and force are merely suggestive that 
things are right, but you still have to check.  Probably you have a distorted 
geometry there, that kicks things around and ultimately causes a water molecule 
to violently crash into something.  It's a bit odd that it took so long, but not 
implausible.
