Negative Values in E_DENSITY_CUBE Files

[Brian Day]

I'll have to try and play around with those parameters. That said, do you 
happen to know what the sum of the voxels in these files should be? I 
assume it should be (close to) 1 or (close to) the total number of 
electrons, but with the file attached above I get a value of 46. 34196, 
even though is only a two electron system. Thanks again.
