Description
**Describe the bug**
VMC energies and the variance suddenly jump for twists number 0 and 1. Although, they seem to recover for the both twists, the twist number 1 later on gets nan energies in the DMC calculation.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
QMCPACK 3.17.9 (Dec 22nd)
Frontier
Using the Frontier build script
All the input and smaller statistical output files are provided in the attachment
Wavefunctions are provided in
/lustre/orion/mat151/proj-shared/qmcpack_bug_issue_4903
**Expected behavior**
From Frontier
Local energy

Variance

In the figures, it looks like there is only jump in the VMC energies, but
grep nan *scalar.dat
shows persistent nan values in the dmc.g001.s002.scalar.dat file upon inspection.
