[Pw_forum] error in relaxation

[madhura at jncasr.ac.in]

Thanks Paolo.
I will use the latest version.
But may I know what was that bug about? Since I have run all other similar
calculations with this version and would like to know why only for single
system ran into this problem.
Also just for one system if I use different version what about the
numerical errors introduced? Can I compare the data without worrying about
that?
