Dear Aleksander,
     in this moment I have only 2 CPUs for debugging, and it's
going really slow.

I suspect that the problem is due to the recent changes to
GIPAW/src/compute_u_kq.f90, in how u_{k+q} is initialized from
the wavefunction at k. I think that the orthogonalization
is lost here.

Maybe the others developers can help me, by telling if this
is the proper way to diagonalize the hamiltonian at fixed
KS potential.

Best wishes,
     Davide
