Dear All

I have some problems with calculations using PI. When I start MD or when I
restart MD i get:

***************************************************************
 *                    CHARACTERISTIC RADII                     *
 ***************************************************************
   SPECIES  R OF GYRATION  FREE PARTICLE  (IN ANGSTROM)
   1   P    0.06799       Infinity
   2   O    0.05446       Infinity
   3   K    0.08015       Infinity
   4   H    0.12800       Infinity
            R OF SUSCEPTIBILITY
   1   P        NaN       Infinity
   2   O        NaN       Infinity
   3   K        NaN       Infinity
   4   H        NaN       Infinity
            R OF CORRELATION
   1   P    0.13599       Infinity
   2   O    0.10892       Infinity
   3   K    0.16030       Infinity
   4   H    0.25600       Infinity

I noticed that when I used  DEBROGLIE CENTROID  500.d0 during replics
generation a then start MD in 120K i get this problem. when i start MD
320K it starts ok, but after 5 steps i stop, restart md and the problem
apear.

what is the reason of that? After that calculations go on and average
values for bonds seems to be good.
I looked into cpmd code but without  succes.

in my input i put
