[CP2K:423] Re: grid settings

[Nicolas Bock]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have another question however: When
I increase the cell size to

    &CELL
      ABC 8.0 8.0 8.0
      PERIODIC NONE
      UNITS ANGSTROM
    &END CELL

cp2k dies with a segmentation fault. Is that a known problem? Is there
a problem with my compilation?

Thanks, nick
