Maybe okay?

"Next to :GAP in the scf file there is a warning: if you use a proper 
k-mesh. One always has to check this :GAP value and compare it vs. a 
detailed bandstructure plot, identifying the position of VBM and CBM. If 
the scf k-mesh is course or does not contain Gamma (shifted mesh), the 
quoted :GAP may be too large." [
