Memory problem when using ELPA

Dear Jean-Marie,

yes we know the problem. It is unfortunately a memory leak appearing in the 
latest versions of library and we did not solve it yet.
It is possibly related to the modifications introduced to enable  OMP. 
However, we could  compile the latest cp2k with the ELPA-2013-08 with gcc 
4.8.2 obtaining a working executable, without leaks.
Have you tried this combination?

Kind regards
Marcella
