Dear Juerg,

thank you very much.

I changed the functional to BLYP and I used ASPC interpolator.
I carried out different tests where I tried different values of the
EXTRAPOLATION_ORDER (up to 6), I increased the EPS_SCF and used defaults
for most of the other parameters.
Unfortunately, I still observe either drifts or jumps in the total energy.

I think that there is still a problem in the input, reported below.

Many thanks for your help.

Alberto
