Hello fellow SIESTA users,

I've run some optical calculations, but I'm disappointed that I cannot scan
low frequencies, it seems less that 0.0001Ry.  Is there some way around
this?  When I specify an optical energy minimum of less than the above
value, my output file reads 0.0000Ry; and likewise with the gaussian
broadening term.  I'd like to model optical properties in the MHz, KHz, etc.
range, but this doesn't seem possible.  I've also tried specifying the
parameters with scientific notation, e.g. 1e-10, but the program crashes
with:

 3 - MPI_REDUCE : Invalid buffer pointer: Arguments must specify different
buffers (no aliasing)_DIST

at the command prompt.

Comments/suggestions appreciated,
