Unfortunately, this does not help. After I remove the ACTION argument, the 
crash happens the same as before. The full error statement is

Image              PC                Routine            Line        Source

mixer              00000000004049EA  Unknown               Unknown  Unknown

and at line 410, qmix9.f reads the file case.broyd2001 which to my amateur 
eyes looks just fine:

-rw-r--r-- 1 vybornyk users 401696 Dec  8 09:33 FeRh.broyd1
-rw-r--r-- 1 vybornyk users    208 Dec  8 09:33 FeRh.broyd2
-rw-r--r-- 1 vybornyk users 401456 Dec  8 09:33 FeRh.broyd2001

I mean that comparing this calculation to something else simple, aluminium 
(again, spin polarised to keep things the same in both cases) I can see 
no obvious difference:

-rw-r--r-- 1 vybornyk users 125760 Dec  8 09:40 Al.broyd1
-rw-r--r-- 1 vybornyk users    656 Dec  8 09:40 Al.broyd2
-rw-r--r-- 1 vybornyk users 125520 Dec  8 09:40 Al.broyd2001

This latter calculation finishes without any troubles.

Best regards,

Karel
