it is explained in the MIA (Most Ignored Answers: it used to be FAQ,
but since nobody ever reads them, the new name is closer to reality).
Either there is a misspell in namelist control, or there is a DOS ^M
that shouldn't be there, or (if it happens in parallel excution on more
than one processor only) your MPI library does not perform the correct
input redirection. Use "pw.x -in file-name" to read data from 'file- 
name'
