Dear QE developer,

Here I am reporting a bug in neb. It exits in QE6.8 and the developer version 
rather than the old versions. The problem is the output file stopped at the 
first iteration and did not get updated, though the calculations were still 
running. Moreover, the processes can not be killed by the command "kill" +PID. 
What's the way out?
I am using the latest oneAPI environment for the FORTRAN compiler and parallel 
environment .
