  <div>
    <p>I did some more testing of the nlvdw package compiled with
      gfortran with .outputnlvdw having unit 6.  A nlvdw calculation
      runs fine.  It does appear to just be due to a deficiency of
      resources for my system.  Further details given below should you
      be interested in them.</p>
    <p>In gcc-7.4.0.tar.gz at [1], it can be seen in
      gcc/fortran/libgfortran.h that unit 6 and 5 are preconnected as
      standard output and standard input, respectively, from:<br>
    </p>
    <p>/* Default unit number for preconnected standard input and
      output.  */<br>
      #define GFC_STDIN_UNIT_NUMBER 5<br>
      #define GFC_STDOUT_UNIT_NUMBER 6<br>
      #define GFC_STDERR_UNIT_NUMBER 0<br>
    </p>
    <p>However, as stated at [2]:<br>
    </p>
    <p><i>Like any other preconnected unit it may have its connection
        changed in an open statement.</i><br>
    </p>
    <p>Indeed, the preconnection of unit 6 as standard output is
      overridden to write to the .outputnlvdw file instead by the open
      statement in WIEN2k's SRC_nlvdw/vdw.F (on line 87 when iunit=6):<br>
    </p>
    <p>      open (iunit,file=fname,status=status,form=form)<br>
    </p>
    <p>When I tried running Dr. Chakrabarti's alloy_VOPT.struct at [3]
      with "run_lapw -nlvdw", the .dayfile gave me a "Killed" error and
      .outputnlvdw was empty.</p>
    <p>When I ran it, I found it strange that .outputnlvdw was empty. 
      It turned out that gfortran buffers file output in memory by
      default such that the output was never written to the file when
      the program was killed.  I have found that the environmental
      variable GFORTRAN_UNBUFFERED_ALL can be set to 1 [4].  Using
      GFORTRAN_UNBUFFERED_ALL can slow down the small sequential reads
      and writes [5] but is obviously better for debugging and also got
      me passed what I previously reported that might be a gfortran bug
      with buffered file output when using unit 6.  As using a 'print
      *,iunit' statement to try to debug the above open statement in
      vdw.F printed to the .dayfile that files up to unit 5 were opened
      but never showed unit 6 and the later files from nlvdw.def
      opening.</p>
    <p>The calculation I ran made it to the same spot as Dr. Chakrabarti
      and expect the Ubuntu killed it due to insufficient RAM as Prof.
      Tran pointed out at [6].  The small resource Al calculation ran
      without errors though as shown below.<br>
