I've tried the 442 grid with espresso-4.1CVS on my intel linux workstation. Everything 
seems to work fine for me. No missing q-points or something similar. This is the output 
from q2r.x

       q-space grid ok, #points =   32

       fft-check warning: sum of imaginary terms = .8800000E-06


All seems fine to me!
