If some spins are not couple to any other spins, optmagsteep can give errors. I have traced the error to the call to sw_fSub. In the example below, there are 64 spins in the magnetic cell, but only 32 of them are coupled to other spins. The highest index of these spins happens to be 60, and so the code that assigns spins to sublattices only assigns the first 60 spins:
SSc = param.fSub(SS.all(4:5,:),param.nExt);
This then leads to errors.
Here is a (somewhat) minimal example:
