[Pw_forum] Too many r-vectors?

There is a parameter "mxr" set to 50 in a few routines:
   espresso/PW/src/ewald_dipole.f90:  integer, parameter :: mxr = 50
   espresso/PW/src/ewald.f90:  integer, parameter :: mxr = 50
   espresso/PW/src/force_ew.f90:  integer, parameter :: mxr=50
   espresso/PW/src/stres_ewa.f90:  integer, parameter :: mxr = 50
This is maximum number of neighboring cell used in Ewald sums in
real space. Since very few such vectors are usually needed in order
to have converged Ewald sums, 50 is usually more than sufficient.
Try to increase it to 100 or so, recompile.
