Hi, all siesta users:

When I use the new versions of SIESTA( 3.0-beta and LDA+U) for structural 
relaxation, it hangs after the first SCF calculation: only one process is alive 
and the use of memory increased drastically. If goes smothly if I use static 
calculation or use stable versions (2.0.2). Can any one work it out.
