[Wien] tetra produces NaN

Dear colleagues,
when using tetra (WIEN2k 9.1), compiled with the Intel Fortran compiler
11.0, occasionally the calculation of DOS and partial DOSs results in
'NaN' for single energy values. This is a matter of numerical precision.
When compiling tetra with the option:
-fp-model precise
, which disables optimization that can change the result of
floating-point calculations, the problem wasn't observed up to now.
The effect of this compiler option on the performance of the program
seems to be marginal.

Best regards

Ulrich Wedig
