[Pw_forum] problems with input_dft='vdW-DF' in neb.x calculations

In kernel table I change at line 172
allocate(...) with if(.not. allocated) allocate

    if(.not.allocated(q_mesh)) allocate( q_mesh(Nqs) )
    if(.not.allocated(kernel)) allocate( kernel(0:Nr_points,Nqs,Nqs))
    if(.not.allocated(d2phi_dk2)) allocate(d2phi_dk2(0:Nr_points,Nqs,Nqs) )

you can download the svn version of the routines or change it by hand.

(neb calls n_input_image times the read input routines of pwscf, so it was
trying to allocate an object that was already allocated).
