Dear Paolo,

I tested this job  before on my PC
(Opteron/SuSe9.2/IFC8.1) using HUSPBE.RRKJ3
pseudopotential and PWSCF v.2.1.5 and met no problem 
with epsil=.true. or .false. options.  
Sure, for H2 there is no reason using epsil=.true.
Even used with epsil=.true. the code results in almost
zero charges.

Bests,
Eyvaz.
