Hi,

Well, think harder about your 'problem'. How hard can it be to solve
all terms to reach the nearest local minimum for a system of 36 atoms?
You could basically do it by hand! No wonder that you reach
convergence to machine precision in 14 steps. Check the archives on
'stepsize too small' and 'convergence to machine precision', etc.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
