hi paolo,

talking about kindness...

would you please be so kind and pull all the lithium "ak"
potentials from the pseudopotential library. thanks to this
episode, we have now an easier to check parameter in order
to correct for the problems with this set of potentials. 
i still wonder what causes this, but that is probably buried
deep in the black magic of pseudopotential creation. 
sometimes you have it, sometimes  you don't. oh well...

ciao,
  axel.
