Yes, thank you very much Paolo. Everything you remember me below has  
been, little by little introduced after a better comprehension of the  
keywords (starting_magnetization were a non-sense) and tqr was a very  
strange solution to all other inconsistencies...

The file I'm using now is a little bit different (I hope without too  
much errors) and after a control of what will be written in Unit 4 I  
will submit to the forum to try to solve the problem if persists.

It seems that cg with atomic+random wfcn is much more reliable and the  
convergence path very stable...but the floating error avoid the good  
ending.
