Subject: Original Symmetry Operations not satisfied

Dear Members,
I try to do the geometry optimisation of Zn (001) plane, with a cut-off
work function of 110, cut-off charge 450. kpoints 993. I have received this
error."Error in routine checkallsym (1): some of the original symmetry
operations not satisfied. Please find the below pested input script
