it is (after all this is why there are new versions) but new versions
fix old bugs and introduce new ones. This is clearly a bug and
will be fixed soon. Meanwhile, use
K_POINTS tpiba
1 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0
instead of
K_POINTS gamma
It is slower but it converges very quickly (it should converge
exactly in the same way,but it doesn't, for some obscure reason)
