[Wien] Convergence problem in mbj potential calculation

[shamik chakrabarti]

Dear Gerhard,

            I have reached the convergence up to; cc=1.91 & ec=0.23
gap is coming for the last ten cycles as;

:GAP  : -99999.   Ry = -9999.    eV  ( metallic )
:GAP  : -99999.   Ry = -9999.    eV  ( metallic )
:GAP  :    0.0126 Ry =     0.172 eV   (provided you have a proper k-mesh)
:GAP  :    0.0273 Ry =     0.371 eV   (provided you have a proper k-mesh)
:GAP  : -99999.   Ry = -9999.    eV  ( metallic )
:GAP  : -99999.   Ry = -9999.    eV  ( metallic )
:GAP  :    0.0126 Ry =     0.172 eV   (provided you have a proper k-mesh)
:GAP  :    0.0273 Ry =     0.371 eV   (provided you have a proper k-mesh)
:GAP  : -99999.   Ry = -9999.    eV  ( metallic )
:GAP  : -99999.   Ry = -9999.    eV  ( metallic )

with regards,
