Brian, I used a regular .prm file, and still had the problem. Adding the negative sign in front of the epsilon value fixed it again.

That's odd. My recollection was that the negative sign was an old system for flagging different mixing rules (negative = geometric, positive = arithmetic). While it's true that NAMD never supported this syntax (there's a global keyword for it instead), I'd be surprised if the response was to crash.
Could you also try with just plain .prm syntax without all of the .str contents?
