Hi Nichols,

as Teo says extra details would help.  The slightly esoteric message
indicates that the processor involved doesn't possess the density
matrix block that it thinks it should have.  Is the crash immediate,
do you get an initial density....

It's not a problem with the size of vacuum, but it could be with the
non-periodic boundary conditions.
