Dear All users,

I performed LDA+U calculation for VO2 system. I used PAW atomic data from
AtomPAW table. The calculation stopped with failure message in log file:

---------------------------------

iter Etot(hartree) deltaE(h) residm nres2 diffor maxfor

FFT (fine) grid used in SCF cycle:

getcut: wavevector= 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 ngfft= 96 60 48
ecut(hartree)= 36.000 => boxcut(ratio)= 2.03029

ewald : nr and ng are 3 and 21

invcb : BUG -
Fast computation of inverse cubic root failed.
Action : contact ABINIT group.

.Delivered 6 WARNINGs and 1 COMMENTs to log file.
