Is the density matrix converged -- look in case.dmatup_old &
case.dmatup (I think). It is quite possible to have the densities
converged (e.g. :DIS), but the density matrix not -- this is then an
unfeasible solution (called a trap). I suspect this has happended many
times in the past and been mistaken for a real solution.
