Don't use -maxwarn.  Fix the problem.  You need some sort of reference 
coordinate scaling when applying position restraints in an NPT ensemble.

What was the trjconv command?  What was the actual screen output?  Seg faults 
are usually bugs, but if you're doing something weird that you shouldn't be, it 
could be entirely unrelated to anything to do with the run itself.
