it need not be a memory leak in cp2k!

does not help. running out of memory in a different routine
(realloc). anyways, the problem is ubiquitous and shows up
for ridiculously small inputs. it would not be the first
bug that i stumbled over in cray's malloc support. :-)

the same (2GB per dual-core node). the same input works fine with
an older version. i still have to check whether i get the same
problem, if i compile the older sources with the newer tools.
