Hello,

I'm using cp2k 6.1 r.18604, git version. I compiled it myself (after
quite some struggle, probably because of problems with Intel
compilers), with MKL  18.0.3 and gcc 5.2.0 (both installed by
HPC admins).

Also, to clarify on the (2) - SCF energy usually goes to huge values after 
this warning (always for the benzene-Ar system). My box size is now 31A for 
the benzene-Ar system (I tried up to 36A with no obvious success). I'm 
troubled by the huge/wrong energy in SCF that does not want to get 
reasonable not by the warning itself (see my partial logfile).

Thank you!
Regards,
stanislav.
