Dear Prof. Blaha, dear All,

I am not sure if my calculation has converged, there are mixed messages 
in the case.dayfile. Could you please comment. See the details below.

I have been converging a slab with GGA+U, few lines from :log file:

...

The end of case.dayfile looks like this (it was maybe 40 iterations):
