From the most to the less likely, it could be that your DOS has some <br>
broadening that masks the existence of a small gap, or that the gap <br>
closes across the last two segments of the path that you are missing, or <br>
that you are very unlucky and the band gaps closes at points that do not <br>
lie on a high symmetry path.<br>
