Dear PWscf users,

I tried to perform some calculations on ATHLON cluster (8 dual nodes) for carbon systems. I checked 
the diamond structure (8 atoms in unit cell). But I met the disconvergence adter 1 step:

On My another computer (HP workstation) it was done succesfully. I used Intel compiler (7.0) and 
LAM-MPI 7.0.3 (with Myrinet). What is the reason of my crash calculation?

Thank you for help,
Best wishes,
Sergey
