Folks,

I think I encountered this before... If an optimisation or dynamics calculation runs for 500 steps, it often (always?) fails with the following lines:

=====================
 Folding of H and S is implicitly performed
New_DM. Step:   499
Re-using DM from previous geometry...
Extrapolating Density Matrix...
Density Matrix sparsity pattern changed.
rank 24 in job 1  wardlaw63_48676   caused collective abort of all ranks
=====================

Is something reset or recalculated in the 500th step that breaks if the geometry has changed? Can I prevent that?

Cheers,

  Herbert
