<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>We are using espresso to relax the
atomic structures of an alloy, there is a problem that after several days of
running the size of *.out is still zero, nothing is written to the output
file. If we kill the job then the output file is not empty. Some small
jobs run fine, I mean the information is updated from time to
time during the calculation. It seems this is just an occasional
case. Does anyone here encounter similar problem before, any suggestions to
solve this problem ? Many thanks.</FONT></DIV>
