Dear All,

When running VC-Relax on 2D MnO2 I am running into the previously discussed 
error of:

 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     Error in routine  cdiaghg (22):
      problems computing cholesky
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


>From my readings into this error through the archive it appears that the issue 
>may arise from initial atomic positions but am unsure how to remedy this, or 
>if this even the source of error, in this case.


I have been running in version 5.4.0, and the input file is below. Any advice 
or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
