Dear Prof. Gavin,

                         I am sorry for the previous reply. Yes, after,
grep WARNING *.outputs the following warnings appeared

WARNING:   0.038 P    CORE electrons leak out of MT-sphere !!!!
:WARNING:     0.038  P    CORE electrons leak out of MT-sphere !!!!
:WARNING: touch .lcore and run scf-cycle with core density superposition
:WARNING: Or: rerun lstart with lower E-core separation energy
:WARNING:     ORBITAL:  2P*    -9.172    -9.141
:WARNING:     ORBITAL:  2P     -9.104    -9.074
WARNING:   0.038 P    CORE electrons leak out of MT-sphere !!!!

Should I go for touch .lcore now...

with regards,
