Using adpack (version 1.8) to calculate pseudopotentials for carbon ( see input file below), it happens that increasing the grid.xmax parameter from its default
 value (2.5) up to 5.0 determines different pseudoatomic orbitals and
 pseudopotentials. What is the origin of these instabilities ?
 
 
 Here is my input file
