Dear All,

I am carrying out raman and non-linear response calculation on Rutile TiO2 with abinit 5.3.4 release.
But I donot find the 3rd energy derivatives tensor  was  computed.
And i find there are several warning messages about hdr_check, it comment that there are critical
differences for "the format storage of wavefunctions".   i have tried to set istwfk to 1 for all datasets without
success.  Would you please give some suggestion on this point ?

My input file is given below, any comments and suggestion   are really appreciated.
