[Pw_forum] improper symmetry analysis

[Kun Yin]

Thank you for your answers, Paolo and Lorenzo.

First time to know using nr1,nr2,nr3 and nr1s,nr2s,nr3s keywords.^_^

I don't quite understand this sentence. Just try to increase and decrease 
default nr and nrs values as suggested. There are total 9 calculations, 1-3 
and 8-0 find symmetry right, 4-7 find symmetry wrong.

For No. 5 calculation, defulat value is 75 and 48. I set nr1=nr2=nr3=80, 
nr1s=nr2s=nr3s=50. It finds symmetry right!
when I decrease to nr1=nr2=nr3=72, nr1s=nr2s=nr3s=45. It reports error and 
crash.
