Dear Hua-Qing,

   I was curious if you have any updates on the interesting result you 
mentioned in the email below. Have you reached some understanding about 
the problem since you posted the message?

   If not, could you send some input files that would allow to reproduce 
your results?

   Regards,

   Ivo
