Dear All,


I tried to perform DFT+U calculation on wurzite ZnS. When I set Hubbard_U for either Zn or S, the calculation went on well.
However, the calculation crashed when I set  Hubbard_U for both Zn and S with error message as "
Atomic wfc used for LDA+U Projector are NOT orthogonalized
     Starting wfcs are  160 randomized atomic wfcs +   13 random wfcs


Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference.


Backtrace for this error:


Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference."




The input file is as follows "

May I what this error is about?  Thank you in advance.
