I think Ali's hint is spot on. The simulation is likely so small that the ratio between the number of tree nodes required by the code and the particle number is much larger than normally needed for well-loaded processors. It should be possible to cure this with a (drastic) increase of the parameter 'TreeAllocFactor' in the parameter file.

The simulation is very very small, the number of particles is N=2*16^3 ( dark matter + gas) and the boxsize is L=3.125 Mpc. However I get a endrun 888 error. The same thing happens if I increase the size of the simulation ( both L and N). I've identified the files where the function endrun is called with the code 888 ( timestep.c lines 482 and 530, forcetree.c line 371) but I still can't understand what the problem is and thus I can't solve this problem.
