spline problem with GENPOT

[Sal]

I was having kind of similar problem before. What I did was to do few steps 
of minimization on FIST or other MD packages.
Or see if having "EMAX_SPLINE 1.0E8" under your SPLINE directive is 
helpful. 
I've seen in the old posts people have also tried  NEIGHBOR_LIST option, 
under : FORCE_EVAL 
<http://manual.cp2k.org/cp2k-2_5-branch/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL.html> / MM 
<http://manual.cp2k.org/cp2k-2_5-branch/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/MM.html> / 
NEIGHBOR_LISTS
