Hello Juanma,

Your cell has 92 atoms! I'll bet the KSS writing part is an "all in 
memory" code, and you're exploding your RAM. The estimation for the memory 
needed for abinit to run may also not take the kss writing step into 
account. PMA's suggestions are the best: compile+run with debugging, and 
compile option -C to see if memory is being overrun

Perhaps someone from the GW team can confirm if mkmem 0 works in the kss 
writing step. In that case, you can set it and the code should page the 
wfct to disk during the writing of the kss. Still, GW on top of that will 
be biblical.
