No real advice. You have to check how much memory you have on your system,
but nmode should report an allocation failure, not a segfault even in that
case. But the error checking for allocation failures might not be robust,
and it could be that you just have a lack of memory.

For 5780 atoms, you will need (5780*3)*(5730*3)*8 = 2.4 Gbytes of available
memory. But you haven't give much to go on: we don't know what sort of job
you are running (i.e. ntrun), the type of machine, and so on.
