[Wien] Problem with k-parallel

Dear WIEN2k users and developers, 

I encountered a very strange problem. Sometimes (50/50 chance), the calculations using just k-parallel will not finish. This exact same case, when submitted again (it sometime takes more tries) finishes with no problem. Sometimes it crashes after a few iterations, sometimes after a hundred or more, and sometimes it just finishes successfully. 

This is what I get in the output: 

sed: can't read /tmp/.tmp2.mpolak.50255: No such file or directory 
cp: cannot stat `.in.tmp': No such file or directory 


There is also an error in stderr: 

forrtl: No such file or directory 
forrtl: severe (29): file not found, unit 20, file /lustre/scratch/tmp/pbs.1275300.achilles/MoS2_LDA/fort.20

Do you have any idea what may be the cause of this? Running on just one CPU is always fine. There is certainly no error in my input file, because after a few tries this exact same case will eventually finish correctly. 

Thank you for your help
