Dear Li Yan,

I was checking my very old work today (it was my diploma work, I am 
sorry, it is not published and it is in German), and the final solution of 
my former problem with my numerical instability was an increase of the 
k-points of the Ground state together with an increase of the number of 
q-points for the phonons. On Monday I can send you some figures.
It was not enough just to increase the number of q-points.

Have a nice weekend,
best wishes,
Katalin
