Dear siesta users and developers:
  I found siesta results of noncollinear calculation always leads to
magnetization
only in z-direction-----even I switched the directin of magnet!  Has
anyone else found
something wrong with noncollinear calculation?  Or something
wrong with my operation?
I put fdf file below.
I appreciate your suggestions about this
problem.


With best regards
Menghao Wu
