segmentation fault??

I have a question.
I tried to calculate example[Handson2] for "Si" in "http://cms.mpi.univie.ac.at/vasp-workshop/".
But I faced the error as following. What is the reason?
Anoher problems?
I applied all the same as workshop in INPUT.

vasp.4.6.28 25Jul05 complex
POSCAR found : 1 types and 1 ions
LDA part: xc-table for Ceperly-Alder, standard interpolation
POSCAR, INCAR and KPOINTS ok, starting setup
WARNING: wrap around errors must be expected

INCAR

System = fcc Si
ISTART = 0 ; ICHARG=2
ENCUT = 240
ISMEAR = 0; SIGMA = 0.1;

It might be the memory requirement, for “ Core damped � Try first for small K-points and cutoff energy if that works. But I think it should work. Your input parameters are okay.

alternatively, you can run the job parallel, this distributes the load of memory among the CPUs
