error in bond dissociation energy of gas phase molecule

[Jun]

I just recalled that we also did the calculations using GAPW. The bond
dissociation energy of H2O2 using BLYP increases to about 2.8 eV. This
result places some doubt on the pseudopotential of O. I should admit
that this GAPW number is subject to some uncertainty because we don't
have much experience on GAPW. We just modified an input sample file
from /cp2k/tests. Could any expert on GAPW  quickly do a testing
calculation on this, please. The optimised geometries can be found in
the input files attached above.
Many thanks,
Jun
