[Pw_forum] Bug report (QE 6.1): Hybrid functional + Gamma-trick

Dear QE developers,

It seems like there is a bug in quantum espresso 6.1 for the following combination: (1) hybrid functional + (2) gamma-trick + (3) spin polarization + (4) npool of 2.

With this combination, the calculation crashes right after the first PBE calculation. I haven’t tested the (3) and (4) parts thoroughly, but the problem goes away if I turn off the gamma-trick. 

The calculations have been done using a local linux cluster at the University of Chicago compiled with mkl and intelmpi.

The following is two examples to reproduce the error.

1. SrTiO3: 5-atom cubic unit cell.
