NaNO3 optimization does not converge


Clicked A Few Times
I started out with the experimental geometry:

title "NaNO3 - using R-3c symmetry"
echo

start NaNO3

memory 3000 mb

permanent_dir ./perm
scratch_dir ./scratch

geometry nocenter noautosym noautoz print
 system crystal 
lat_a 5.071
lat_b 5.071
lat_c 16.825
alpha 90.0
beta 90.0
gamma 120.0
end
symmetry R-3c
Na 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000
N 0.00000 0.00000 0.25000
O 0.24480 0.00000 0.25000
end

  ewald_rcut 3.0
ewald_ncut 8
xc lda
lmbfgs
end

task pspw energy

echo
title "optimization of NaNO3 LDA with PSPW method"
scratch_dir ./scratch
permanent_dir ./perm
restart NaNO3
