Improper setting of KPOINTS led to an error.

Hello,

I would like to know what impact KPOINTS has on the calculation besides affecting the accuracy?
When I was calculating a certain structure, I found that if the KPOINTS setting was 441, there would be an error message "ZBRENT: fatal error in bracketing", but if it was set to 451, the calculation could proceed normally.

The relevant files for the two calculations have been uploaded.

Thanks!
Jike
