Dear all I've encountered an error while conducting an NSCF calculation on an 
SCF-run structure. The error message I'm encountering is as follows:

"
     Error in routine cdiaghg (2776):     S matrix not positive definite"
 This error consistently appears after any kpt#. I've attempted various 
troubleshooting steps, including adjusting the number of processors involved in 
the calculation. Surprisingly, increasing the processor count leads to early 
NSCF failure. Similarly, attempts to mitigate the issue by increasing the 
values of Ewfc and Erho result in NSCF failure at an earlier kpt#.
I've experimented with reducing the processor count, but this only delays the 
failure to a higher kpt#. Additionally, decreasing Ewfc and Erho values 
prevents SCF calculation convergence.
I would greatly appreciate any insights or potential solutions you may have 
regarding this matter.
