Dear abiniters,
Have you ever successfully run the tutorial in part3 of non-linear static
properties, i.e. ~/tests/tutorespfn/Input/tffield_7.in? It seems that the
reference output file ~/tests/tutorespfn/Refs/tffield_7.out runs to a
successful end. However, when I repeat this calculation, the calculation
exits and one error message permanently appears, listed below:
------------------------------------------------
Polarization in cartesian coordinates (a.u.):
(the sum of the electronic and ionic Berry phase has been fold into [-1, 1])
Electronic: 0.162899373E-03 0.162899374E-03 0.162899374E-03
Ionic: -0.265033381E-01 -0.265033381E-01 -0.265033381E-01
Total: -0.263404388E-01 -0.263404387E-01 -0.263404387E-01

Polarization in cartesian coordinates (C/m^2):

scfcv (electric field calculation) : WARNING -
The difference between pel (electronic Berry phase updated
at each SCF cycle)
and pel_cg (electronic Berryphase computed using the berryphase routine) is
pdif_mod = 0.637569822E-04

pel_cg(1) = 0.000000000E+00
pel_cg(2) = 0.000000000E+00
pel_cg(3) = 0.000000000E+00
pel(1) = 0.461002470E-02
pel(2) = 0.461002466E-02
pel(3) = 0.461002463E-02


leave_new : decision taken to exit ...
------------------------------------------------
Obviously, there is something wrong, but I don't know where it is. I
attach my input file, for your convenience.
