In addition to that the file had another problem related to lattice
vectors specification. In particular:

CRYSTAL
CONVVEC
    7.0000000000    0.0000000000    0.0000000000
    0.0000000000    3.0000000000    0.0000000000
    0.0000000000    0.0000000000    3.0000000000
PRIMCOORD
...

Note that PRIMVEC section is mandatory, whereas CONVVEC section is
optional. This implies that above "CONVVEC" keyword should be tranformed
to "PRIMVEC".
