Hello,

I have been running tests of PBE pseudopotentials using an F2 molecule within a 
cubic box.? For pbe-n-kjpaw, pbe-n-rrkjus and both of their relativistic 
equivalents, the convergence graph is very strange.? There is not a smooth 
decline in the graph, it actually dips to a minimum around 35Ry, and does not 
satisfactorily converge until around 70Ry.? I have not seen a graph such as 
this for convergence before, any advice would be appreciated.

Here is my input:
&control
??? prefix='testf',
??? pseudo_dir='/home/chemeng/Benjamin/ppots'
??? outdir = '/home/chemeng/Benjamin/PVDF/test',
?/
?&system??? 
??? ibrav= 1, celldm(1) =10, nat=2, ntyp= 1,
?ecutwfc = 100 ,
