...remarkably complicated input data follows.

Unless you know really well what you are doing, you should start
with something simpler. You can't start with the most exotic
techniques of quantum-espresso (variable-cell + ensemble dynamics +
Fermi Dirac smearing of 6000Ry??? + 32 spin up + whatnot), and
pretend that everything runs at the first attempt
