Hi Min,
The input file that you are using to generate pseudopotential for S contains the keyword 'pe' which implies that you are using core corrections. In this case, the last number in the last line is read as the core radii which is supposedly '0.00' in your case. The second to last number which is also '0.00' in this case, is arbitrarily set to 1.0 if core corrections are to be used. You will have to enter the core radii by hand while generating pseudopotentials in the input file. If you want to avoid core corrections, use the keyword 'pg' instead.
Hope this helps,
Neeti

Dear SIESTA users,

I generated a pseudopotential for S like following

=====================
# 2345678901234567890123456789012345
    pe   S   Pseudopotential
         tm2

     3    0      2.00      0.00
     3    1      6.00      0.00
     3    2      0.00      0.00

======================

And I runned siesta program using this peudopotential.
However I got this ERROR message in atom.f procedure:

======================

chovrlap: rmx,rmax =     237.792532      32.169909
Stopping Program
=====================

I don't know why I got such a large r value, r=118.7963,
which should be a few number.
Does anyone tell me why?

Sincerely, Min.
