[Wien] Problems in the 1st step of the SCF cycle of mBj

Most likely the calculation of the mBJ potential on some grid-points in 
the interstitial has failed.

This could come from:
i) a bad starting (incorrect/incompatible case.vsp, case.vresp and 
clmsum files).
ii) since you have a structure with huge vacuum region or very heave 
atoms ???
iii) lousy convergence parameters (too small RKmax, GMAX, FFTW-grid in 
case.in0),...
iv) a problem in our bBJ routines (possible, but now rather unlikely)

Can you run mBJ in other cases ?

Restore the PBE calc and run a few PBE cycles, rm *.bro*, retry mBJ.

increase FFTW-mesh in case.in0

If nothing helps, you need to send me the specific case and I have to 
test it myself.
