[Pw_forum] Problem with hybrid pseupotentials calculations

It means that variable cell relaxation (requiring the calculation of 
stress) and exact exchange (implied by hybrids such as B3LYP), two 
options that you are requiring, have not been tested together. Hence the 
code stops.

One could comment out the error and spend some time to verify by 
numerical derivatives whether the stress is computed accurately with 
hybrids. If so the error can actually be safely removed for good. If not 
one needs to work to understand why the stress is not implemented correctly.
