very likely. Some numerical noise is always there, it is usually almost invisible, especially at scf convergence. In some known cases of special sensitivity to truncation and roundoff errors: noncolinear, spin-orbit, DFT+U, it is more visible while self-consistency is reached. No easy solution is known (to me at least) P. -- Paolo Giannozzi, Dept. Chemistry&Physics&Environment, Univ.
