Hi,

The memory use won't rise if there's a single large allocation that fails.
The large negative number present in the error message indicates that the
amount of memory asked for exceeded 2^31 bytes (because the quantity was
larger than a signed 4-byte integer), which is unreasonable. You have to
figure out how your usage is leading to a large request (and maybe read the
g_mmpbsa docs, or ask the person who actually develops g_mmpbsa, who isn't
on the GROMACS team).
