Such small qtl-b values are usually innocent.

Do you have f-states in case.in1? (a '3' in the second column) If so, 
you can probably avoid this warning by putting its energy parameter to 
1.4 (which is a fairly high energy, by the way -- are you studying a 
crystal under high pressure?)

25 or -25? Look in case.outputst to see the energies of all orbitals in 
the free atom. The -6/-10 you quote refers to the orbital energies you 
see there.
