Periodic cell has become too small

Hello:

I have minimized a CG system of protein+bilayer+watersolvation with
protein+bilayer fixed

# Minimization
if {1} {
minimize 1000
reinitvels $temperature
}

run 25000

bringing it to 310K slowly:

# Gradual increase of temperature
if {1} {
reassignFreq 500
reassignTemp 10
reassignIncr 10
reassignHold 310
}

Then I tried to equilibrate the system, with same restraints, holding
the 310K temperature, disabling useFlexibleCell ad setting "margin 5".
After new 1000 steps of minimization, the run crashed with:

Periodic cell has become too small.

Any suggestion how to make the equilibration smoother (I guess that
there are too sudden changes) from users that came across a similar
problem would be welcome.
