Hi Heidi,
I think you're reporting a whole set of unrelated things here. It looks like Melodic finishes and the mixture modelling does crash on your data. Can you do the following:
(i) run melodic from the command line for the mixture modelling only:
melodic -i bgimage --ICs=melodic_IC --mix=melodic_mix -v --report --Ostats
and report on what you're getting.
If that crashes then please run the same without the --report - if that works then the problem is in the code generating the figures, not anything to do with data size or number of subjects.

The melodic_IC.nii.gz is complete, showing all 25 components. This was done on the latest version of FSL (5.2) on a Linux machine (Centos 6.3). FSL ran for about 16 hours and then stopped.
