Hello to all,

I would like to propose to your attention an apparent inconsistency in the 
matrix of the CELL_PARAMETERS section that I noticed during a relaxation of a 
crystal with trigonal symmetry (ibrav=5, in attach).
These inconsistency arise writing few lines in output_tau.f90 to enable the 
code to print the crystal parameters celldm() for each optimization step.

This is the output of these few lines of code with a simple explanation

...
New celldm() values

1)  celldm(1) =  10.118244326   5.354344288     # new cell edge in bohr and 
angstrom
2)  celldm(4) =   0.647279099                   # cos(alpha) solved respect to 
c in tx
3)  |tx|      =   0.419952914   0.419952914     # value of tx as reported in 
INPUT.PW and in the code
                                                  compared with the element of 
the matrix at(1,1)
4)  |ty|      =   0.242459928   0.242459928     # value of tx as reported in 
INPUT.PW and in the code
                                                  compared with the element of 
the matrix at(2,1)
5)  |tz|      =   0.874558593  >0.911266395<    # value of tx as reported in 
INPUT.PW and in the code
                                                  compared with the element of 
the matrix at(3,1)
6)   c_tx     =   0.647279099                   # cos(alpha) solved respect to 
c in tx - redundant with 2)
7)   c_ty     =   0.647279099                   # cos(alpha) solved respect to 
c in ty
8)   c_tz     =  >0.745609664<                  # cos(alpha) solved respect to 
c in tz
...

Points 5) and 8) seem to be not consistent as expected at least by me :)

Please, can someone explain where probably I'm going wrong?

Many thanks to all

m.
