Are you sure the dcd loaded properly? Is that also the only molecule
loaded in VMD (it has to be the top molecule if there are others)?

I'm not sure about VMD crashing though; that would be a better
question for VMD-L (although it will require a lot of specific
details in order for someone to figure it out).
