I'm very sorry to Mr. Giannozzi. Your name should be written in capital letters, I made a mistake. I just copied your name from the email address.

I tried to solve it for many times, and in lots of different ways. And I found those phenomenon: 1. When I restarted my calculation in a new folder(NF), it ran with no error. 2. And then I copied these new input files to the old folder(OF), and ran e-ph( dense scf - scf - elph - q2r, the whole run) in OF, error appeared again. 3. When I copied all the files in NF to the OF and ran e-ph in OF, no error appeared. 4. I read q2r.f90, and realized It must be the fault of "a2Fq2r.*". So I deleted "a2Fq2r.*" and ran with the old input files in OF, it turned OK. 5. I copied the wrong "a2Fq2r.51" in the OF (I did a backup) to the NF, and ran e-ph in NF, and the error appeared. Thus I find as soon as the files "a2Fq2r.*" are generated, they are not likely to update with new elph calculations(the whole e-ph calculation). Or, perhaps, they inherit some results of the first calculation. That is why I always meet the same error without delete "a2Fq2r.*", no matter how I changed the input files and deleted the tmp folders. To delete all files and begin with zero is the best choice! And thanks in advance, Mr. giannozz and Mr. Gao.
