[CP2K:2250] Bug in the cell-optimization

[Teodoro Laino]

Dear Xujroman,

what do you call "atomar basis". When the cell is rotated and aligned 
along the X,Y and Z axis the atomic coordinates are too...
I don't see any evidence for the bug you're claiming to have found.

Of course fee free to attach an input file that reproduces this error.
Regards,
Teo
