Dear Davide, All,

Not always the newer pseudos of the PSlibrary are better than the older. 
Extensive testing done in the SSSP library proves that:

Subject: Re: [QE-users] GIPAW crashes with nspin=2

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
