Hi,
I am trying to calculate scf of InAs monolayer slab but getting the
following error
"     Self-consistent Calculation

     iteration #  1     ecut=    48.00 Ry     beta=0.70
     Davidson diagonalization with overlap
     ethr =  1.00E-02,  avg # of iterations =  3.0

     Threshold (ethr) on eigenvalues was too large:
     Diagonalizing with lowered threshold

     Davidson diagonalization with overlap
     ethr =  6.54E-04,  avg # of iterations =  3.0

Primary job  terminated normally, but 1 process returned
a non-zero exit code. Per user-direction, the job has been aborted.

this input generates output only in K_POINTS {gamma} condition. Whenever I
change the K_POINTS to automatic, the above error appers. Kindly help.
