[Pw_forum] Segmentation Fault when using pw2casino on moderately sized system?

Answering myself: it doesn't, since pw2casino is not implemented for
noncollinear magnetization. I think that the CASINO code works only for
norm-conserving PP, by the way, so you shouldn't use it with either USPP or
PAW.
