[Pw_forum] pp.x ILDOS plots with ultrasoft pseudopotentials

[Henning Glawe]

Moin,
I discovered a problem in the calculation of the ILDOS (plot_num=10) in pp.x,
version 4.2.1, when ultrasoft pseudopotentials are used.
In principle, setting emin to -\infty and emax to E_{Fermi}, the ILDOS should
be identical to the total charge density (except for small differences due to
the smeared occupations around E_Fermi in the density).
This is true if one uses norm-conserving pseudopotentials.

In the case of ultrasoft pseudopotentials, the resulting ILDOS values are of
an unreasonable range (-41 to +240), while the density is in good agreement
with the ncpp-case (only differences coming from the differnces in
valence/core partition).

Is this a known problem?
