Dear all,
I tried to calculate conduction of  WS2 single layer without and with
spin-orbit coupling (SOC) by "pwcond".Calculation without SOC had been done
successfully by 32  cores.But for calculation with SOC I  used 16 and  32
cores I saw this error.
=   BAD TERMINATION OF ONE OF YOUR APPLICATION PROCESSES
=   PID 13838 RUNNING AT node588
=   EXIT CODE: 9
=   CLEANING UP REMAINING PROCESSES
=   YOU CAN IGNORE THE BELOW CLEANUP MESSAGES

I think I need more RAM ,Therefore,  I used  64 and 128 cores, the
code will stop at  line
" ngper, shell number =          804          82
ngper, n2d =          804         391

---  ie =          1  ik =          1"
and showed

"forrtl: severe (174): SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred

So could you tell me how can I  fix this error so that I can using
more cores to excute pwcond.x? I met this problem in both 6.2.1 and
6.3.
