Daniel:

Can you post your script to the list?

No problem. Here it is.

One possibility: you’re using a very small lattice spacing; things might be blowing up on you because you have too many atoms too close together. . .

I also suspected that as the problem.

As AEI pointed out, you lattice spacing is very small, which produces a very large number of neighbors per atom. You compounded that by creating a relatively large number of atoms. When I drop the region dimensions in your script to 10x10x10, LAMMPS figures out the problem before a system error occurs:
