Replying to message "[Pw_forum] exit status=139" from Iris Theofilou

Dear Iris,
you didn't provide enough information for an accurate reply: which compile  
did you use to compile QE and the full output of the problematic  
calculation (you can find it in the "result" subdirectory of the example).

If you are using the default compilers from ubuntu (gcc and gfortran) be  
aware that the phonon code is often miscompiled by gfortran, giving  
strange and random errors. Please have a look at the user guide  
<http://www.quantum-espresso.org/user_guide/user_guide.html>, especially  
the second chapter; it is boring but it usually pays off on the long run.

best regards
