#######

The system quickly undergoes dissociation (within the very
first ~60 steps)... that's exactly when the forces calculation
convergence gets "unstable".

With "unstable" I mean it always converges (so far) but it
takes much more time (i.e. the number of steps is almost 4
times bigger) than a "normal" forces calculation.
This is also when the "oscillating" convergence behavior
comes out.
