I found that the problem is Ge.pbe-dn-kjpaw_psl.0.2.2.UPF. The '0.2.2' pseudos
have a slightly different file formats that causes memory corruption and GIPAW
crash. It's not a out-of-memeory issue.

If you use Ge.pbe-dn-kjpaw_psl.1.0.0.UPF, the calculation works perfectly.
I recommend to use always the newer pseudos from PSLibrary.

Best wishes.
Davide

        K_POINTS {automatic}
        4 4 8 0 0 0

        we intend to obtain the electric field gradient:

        &inputgipaw
        job='efg'
        prefix='CaMnGe2O6U4_paw_spin'
        tmp_dir='./tmp/'
        verbosity='high'
        spline_ps= .true.
        Q_efg(1) = -6.65 !43Ca
        Q_efg(2) = 33.0 !55Mn
        Q_efg(3) = 33.0 !55Mn
        Q_efg(4) = -19.6 !73Ge
        Q_efg(5) = -2.56 !17O
        q_gipaw = 0.01
        /

        However, when running gipaw.x for this system we obtain an error message
        related to segmentation fault problems. By increasing RAM, nodes or even
        decreasing the K-point mesh, the problem persists. By performing the
        gipaw calculation on another system, which is spin-unpolarized the
        calculation runs smoothly without any problem. We think it might be
        related to the calculation being spin polarized, since after the
        'q-space interpolation' the calculation crashes, after outputting the 
line:

        (RHO,ZETA) => (RHO_UP,RHO_DOWN)

               select_spin: s_maj=1 s_min=2 rho_diff=    0.000000

        Can you please advise on what the problem might be related to and if
        there is a workaround this issue? We have also tried removing the LDAU
        calculation, to check if the problem could be related to the inclusion
        of the Hubbard paramters, but unfortunately with no luck.

        Regards
