[Pw_forum] error cannot remap grid on k-point list

[Elena Roxana Margine]

Dear all,

I have been trying to perform an electron-phonon calculation for a hexagonal
structure but the calculation crashes at second point on a 2x2x2 q-mesh in
the elphon subroutine with the error "cannot remap grid on k-point list"  do
n=1,nkh

     do nk=1,nkBZ
        if (eqBZ(nk) == n) go to 20
     end do
     !  this failure of the algorithm may indicate that the displaced grid
     !  (with k1,k2,k3.ne.0) does not have the full symmetry of the lattice
     call errore('lint','cannot remap grid on k-point list',n)
20   continue
  end do

The problem is that the code finds more irreducible k-points than there
should be. In this example k(27) is the same as k(25) and k(29) is the same
as k(9). So, the correct number of k points should be 26 not 30.

     number of k points=   30  gaussian broad. (Ry)=  0.0050     ngauss =

reproduces.
