The values of r1,r2,r3,r4 are "sticky" if you don't specify them explicitly,
they are not "calculated automatically"; rather, they take the values they had
in the previous rst namelist. If there is no previous rst namelist, you may
well get undefined behavior.

See if you can fix the problem by explicitly setting all the variables to the
values you want them to have.
