Dear QE users:
I am a newbie in GW calculations, and i need to improve the band gap with
this type of calculation
I have done a GW calculation for a 2x2x2 supercell of Cu2O material. I use
a GGA functional for the scf calculation with a k points grid, then a nscf
calculation to take the wfc for the gamma point to do the GW calculation.
First the wstat calculation with 256 number of pdep eigenpotentials (its
the first aproximation for the GW expansion) finished without problems,
then the wfreq calculation for 11 states , the Valence Band Maximum (at
gamma point) and 5 bottom and 5 over it. In this calculation, the cluster
report inform (runpw6.1-impi5.0.3-intel15.0.1-dfti.job.e13139803):

forrtl: severe (174): SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred

the wfreq.out file finish in the W)-Lanczos stage, but does not inform
anything.
This calculation creates a o-ehf_K00001.tab file, but i do not know if its
the converged values or just an intermediated values for the states.

the files are in the next dropbox link:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4hix3fkwgb7i9jl/AADj_EtLQvjbrYZ1SMflp3Q7a?dl=0

I use the QE 6.1 in a cluster with 120 cores and 6 nodes. I use as a probe
a little cluster with 1 node and 62 cores and QE 6.1, and the error is the
same.

Does somebody know what happens and why fix it?

Regards
