Water SETTLE problems are not unusual in energy minimization and are 
often resolved. If, however, such a message immediately precedes a 
failure, then you have a serious problem with either the coordinates or 
topology. mdrun prints out which atom is experiencing the maximum force, 
so start by looking there, as well as reviewing your notes about what 
warnings pdb2gmx or grompp may have issued (but surely you wouldn't have 
ignored any, right? :).
