drastic change in pressure on changing smoothing

Dear cp2k developers,

Is it known whether there is a bug in the calculation of the pressure 
tensor when using XC_SMOOTH_RHO NN10?
Using this smoothing option results in very negative pressures for a 
typical system containing 64 water molecules (see message below of Ambuj 
Tiwari).
Does this strange behaviour also affect the forces on the atoms in general?

Many thanks in advance for your comments.
best wishes,

Bernd Ensing
