don't use bands.x. Take the output from pw.x, remove all lines
until the band structure starts, remove all "k =", add at the
top a line like the following one, run plotbands.x .
 &plot nbnd=  80, nks=  21 /
The bands.x code is there to help in plotting nice bands.
If it doesn't help, as in this case, for rerasons I don't
know, it is better not to use it.
