a GEO_OPT calculation of calcite

[S Ling]

I have tried to run your calculation with fractional coordinates instead of 
Cartesian coordinates, and it looks like the calculation is running fine. A 
combination of Cartesian coordinates and HEXAGONAL cell could be the reason 
of your job failure, and your initial error message "ERRORL2 in 
cp_fm_cholesky:cp_fm_cholesky_decompose processor" might indicate that you 
have very bad geometry at that GEO_OPT step.

In addition, can you explain why you set the mass of carbon atoms to 2.016 
in your input?
