I am not sure if that's the reason, but one error in the input is the 
specification of starting_magnetization(j). This variable defines the 
magnetization per species. In your case you have only one species (Pt) 
so starting_magnetization(2) is meaningless. The only way to define 
different magnetization for each of the two Pt atoms is to define them 
as two different species such as Pt1 and Pt2 (ntyp=2), and use the same 
pseudo-potential for each.
