yes. The "langevin" test is stochastic and you get different results
if you run in serial and in parallel. It should actually be removed.

Then they are correct. There are two reasons why the results may differ:
- randomized initial wavefunctions depend upon the number of
processors and may result in slightly different paths to convergence
and to a slightly different end point. Such difference may be
minimized by tightening convergence criteria
 (conv_thr)
- Those oh so fast mathematical libraries are not always oh so accurate
