[CP2K:1687] NaN problem during wavefunction optimization

Dear Jun,
The fact that skipping the restart file fixes the problem does not mean
too much.
I may depend on several things:
(0) Bug in the code
(1) Numerical Instabilities in your library
(2) Corrupted restart file
(3) Change of basis set between the restart file and the the new input file.
Moreover your input file is not friendly for debugging (takes too much
time!).
Can you please work with a small system and reproduce the error in such
a way that we don't spend the
whole 2009 just looking for flies in the code?
Thanks,
Teo
