they aren't strange. This is for "subspace diagonalization",
which is not directly used in CG diagonalization, but it is
used in i) calculating starting wavefunctions, and ii) rotating
wavefunctions before starting a new diagonalization (it is
equivalent to first-order perturbation theory and improves
quite a bit the subsequent diagonalization).
Anyway I verified that the problem with charge is present only
in parallel execution, both for CG and Davidson, irrespective
whether subspace diagonalization is parallel or not
