GAPW and GTH

Teo asked me to also post this here:

When calculating HCl with GTH pseudos, I get weird energies with
GAPW (positive total energy:  +11.6) whereas with GPW
it is reasonably bound at -15.5. Now if I turn on FULL_GAPW
it again gives sort of the same energy as GPW, but in both GAPW
cases the conserved quantity is not conserved - even in a few (5)
steps MD I get a change of 1e-3 whereas the corresponding
GPW calculation the conserved quantity only changes by 1.0e-7.
I did not do a longer MD with FULL_GAPW, but a similar
calculation with "normal" GAPW also blew up, so it's not just
a miscalculated conserved quantity.
Both GPW+GTH and GAPW with all electrons seem to work fine.
I used the GTH_BASIS_SETS and GTH_POTENTIALS from
the cvs tree and I pasted the input file below.

Am I doing something wrong, or is GAPW not fully working?
The same sort of setup works perfectly fine for a single water
molecule.....
