DFTB problems with mio-1-1 parameter set

HI, all
I was recently running DFTB calculation on a water box containing one
acetic acid molecule. I have used the cp2k provided .spl files and
everything works fine. Now I want to try the mio-1-1 parameter set from
dftb.org, simulations work normally when i use mio-1-1 with DFTB-SCC for a
box of water molecules, but once I have the acetic acid molecules in the
simulation box, cp2k crash with "chelosky failure". when checking the
trajectory of the crashed simulations, I found that the C-H bonds shrink
and hydrogens basically collapse into the C atom; the same happens to the
carbonyl group (C=O), the oxygen collapse into the C atom. only the
hydroxyl group behaves normally. Such problems also exist when just
simulated one acetic acid molecule. Attached is my input file for the one
acid molecule MD calculation as a test, which crashes after 25 steps. Can
anyone having experience using mio-1-1 parameters in cp2k kindly help me on
this. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Jiasen Guo
