definitely not. All I know is that the "driver" mode was devised to be run
with iPi and was adopted by ASE as well.

Of course it was tested, but the user basis is likely small and there are
no automated tests for it, so if something breaks it may easily go
undetected

How can we debug it?

As usual:
- Is it reproducible in all systems, or just in some specific systems, or
with some specific option or execution mode?
- Is it reproducible on other machines or compilers?
- Is it reproducible on a small test that can be quickly run?
- Is any message issued if you run it interactively (at the terminal)?
Once you have a reproducible small test, better if in serial execution,
please open an issue on Gitlab. Meanwhile, you can try to locate where the
code crashes by putting instructions like
  write(6,*) 'I am here'
  flush(6)
in PW/src/punch.f90. Presumably, it will stop somewhere in
"pw_write_binaries". Then you do the same inside pw_write_binaries. It's
dumb, using a debugger would be much better,  but it takes more time to
learn one than to look for the crash "the dumb way". Once the crash is
located, sooner or later one finds also why it crashes

are you running pw.x in "driver" mode?  this is a rather special feature
that is not thoroughly tested

is this the end of file? nothing else? something went wrong while writing.
