[CP2K:2563] QM/MM with isolated QM box

[Laino Teodoro]

Hi Shihao,

are you able to reproduce the error with a small system (max 3 QM  
atoms, let's say water, and not more than other 3 MM atoms, let's say  
again water)?
Your input below is useless due to the lack of so many other  
important pieces of input like the INCLUDE files.
To be kind I would say that it's spam.

Regards,
Teo
