VASP 5.3: INITWF: ERROR, W inconsistently dimensioned: 1

Hi there,

I have calculated the chemical shifts of LiCl using VASP 5.2.12.Nov without any problems.
Recently I compiled VASP 5.3.2 and did the same calculation on LiCl. Exactly where "Job ID is ending" was printed out using 5.2.12.Nov, now it says "INITWF: ERROR, W inconsistently dimensioned: 1". The job is running further without doing anything else until job timeout or deletion.
The outputs are identical but I'm a bit confused by the ERROR.

Has anybody experience or comment on that?

Thanks!

I have the same problem. In my case it's the LHYPERFINE = .TRUE. tag causing the crash. Any solutions?

I, too, got the "inconsistently dimensioned" error when using standard PAWs and LHYPERFINE=.TRUE.. By switching to the newly released PAWs from April 2012 this error went away.

Thanks, that fixed the crash problem. But I don't get any output from the hyperfine flag now, even though the code doesn't crash.
