    If q=(2/3,0.0,0.0) your k-mesh for phonons and k-fit mesh
    should be modulo 3. So  (4 4 1) and (38 38 1) are for sure bad.
    Meshes (6 6 1) and (9 9 1) are too small, although they would
    not give the error if your rare k-mesh (k-mesh for phonons) were
    modulo 3.
    Actually, for this kind of calculations you should ask for
    3 meshes: k_fit, k_phonon, q_phonon.
    And always k_fit/(k_phonon + q_phonon) should be the integer
    number.
