[Wien] semicore band ranges too large error: for MoSi2N4

Looking at your original case.in1, something went very unstable and that
led to the crash. I think some more information might help:
1. What functional are you using?
2. What k-mesh?
3. Spin polarized or not?
4. Are you minimizing positions with -min?
5. Did you change anything in case.in0 & case.in2 or are you using the
defaults?
6. Did you do "grep :NEC *scf" to check that you have the number of
electrons about right?
