It means that your pseudopotentials are bad, your lattice parameter is
massively off-shot, or you have used a smearing far too high, or possibley
some other reason. This is one of the most frequently asked question,
please have a look at the mailing list archives:

Although the wording choice in the manual is a bit ambiguous, this is not
true: you can compute the stress also in a scf calculation, by setting
tstress=.true.
