Actually, zero spacegroup should be tolerated by the CCP4 library now. We were recently alerted to another problem, caused by non-zero origin in the EM map header. But I think this is different to the problem of the original poster. It's probably fair to say we haven't tested enough against rea

There may be several reasons: It looks strange. Something seems to be wrong in protocols 1) Check free R flags. I have seen in few cases wrong free R. Generally number of reflections for free should be less than for work reflections 2) Check TLS refinement. You may need to restart TLS refinem

It is possible that the map is just too big. You might run into "problems" with file I/O in general if it is bigger than 2 GB. If you have a 64-bit machine with CCP4 completely re-compiled in 64-bit mode, then it "should" be able to read the large files (but I have not had much luck with this
