Fabien, 

Thanks for the clarification. 
I look forward to the new fix. 

Best regards,

Jianxin

    Hello,

    Before the bug fix, create_elf_lapw and create_rho.f were producing a 
    wrong ELF function in the non-spin-polarized case. However, with the bug 
    fix sent previously this is now in the spin-polarized case that ELF is 
    wrong. We will fix the problem for both cases and probably send the 
    corrections in the mailing list.
