I have reduced the force and  timestep as given at http://www.gromacs.org/
Documentation/Terminology/Blowing_Up
<http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Blowing_Up>  but still
getting an error like-
Double precision normally gives you higher accuracy.
You might need to increase your constraint accuracy, or turn
off constraints alltogether (set constraints = none in mdp file)

writing lowest energy coordinates.

Back Off! I just backed up prion_em.gro to ./#prion_em.gro.1#

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 726 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1000.
Potential Energy  = -1.7322245e+05
Maximum force     =  8.0706294e+03 on atom 2216
Norm of force     =  1.4435008e+02

if i proceed for pr with this result segmentation fault occured again.
