I'm sorry I had to provide more details.
I use the last version (4.2.1).
I set ibrav=4, calculation='vc-relax' and cell_dofree = 'x' (I also 
tried xy).
The program crash with the following message:

/ from checkallsym : error #         2
  not orthogonal operation/

What I'd like to do is to optimized the lattice parameter "a" and keep 
"c" constant.
Thanks,

                  Eric.
