Dear José, 

running the job you provide, it also occurs to me that pw
early stops using the initial guess of dt and ecutwfc. Nevertheless, a
slight adjustment of the parameter values, like Paolo Giannozzi suggested,
seems to work well. Please check if the input file in attachment runs fine
for you
