NaNs in wave function cube files

Normal dft calculations with pbc have always worked fine for me
( though basis set was the GTH).
The reason that I am doing this is because I have been experimenting
with SIC and for my problem this seems to play a very important role
so I wanted to compare results of PBE including SIC with those from
b3lyp since b3lyp should fix some of the self interaction problems
(without needing SIC).
It is only when I tried things with periodic HF (through b3lyp) using
6-31g** as you can see in the example below that problems came up.
This happens whether you use cutoff or you don't. Energies with and
without cutoff are very similar so this is not really a problem.
BTW, what's not correct about the input below?
It's a pair of ions with an extra electron in a box that is larger
than the system and a cutoff that is less than 1/2 of the box. This
should be a valid calculation right?
Thanks!!
