Dear all,

I intend to do some calculations of strongly correlated systems by using
siesta, so I download the version of LDAU from the website. After compiling,
I test the program with the example provided by the package, Fe_ldau.fdf and
FeO_shift.fdf.

The example of FeO_shift.fdf runs successfully, but the Fe_ldau just stop
unexpectedly as following:

...
superc: Internal auxiliary supercell:     8 x     8 x     8  =     512
superc: Number of atoms, orbitals, and projectors:    512  7680  8192

And here is the input file of Fe_ldau.fdf:
