A fractional coordinate error should not occur with periodic boundaries -
this is from a gas phase or implicit solvent simulation. They likely have
two atoms sitting very close or on top of each other and they have flown off
at close to the speed of light. Note the coordinates 10^7 angstroms!!!

Setting ntwx=1 and running 100 steps and then visualizing the mdcrd file
should be sufficient to locate the origin of the problem. If the user had
posted more information, such as energy output, details of their input, the
type of simulation they were running etc it might have been easier to help.
