Dear Davide,

I have just tried the PPs you sent me and they works perfectly. I also 
understand what I was doing wrong in my initial input.
So thanks a lot for the help.

However, in my initial e-mail I forget to send the output corresponding to the 
bad H PP, where a core contribution appears. I send it to you now (as well as 
the corresponding PP generation input). Maybe that will help a future pwscf 
user for not doing the same wrong thing as me.

Best Regards,

J?r?me Cuny

Dear J?r?me,
     the two output files you attached do not show large differences,
The core contribution is only for oxygen, in both cases.
 
What can lead to wrong/inaccurate results is the linear dependence
between GIPAW projectors (in your "not-good" calculation). Moreover,
I strongly advise to generate always two projectors per angular
momentum in the &test section.
 
I've never tried to generate hydrogen with 'p' locality. Maybe someone
else can comment. In any case, I'm attaching original the input files
for the hydrogen and oxygen pseudopotentials. You can try to add to them.
 
Best wishes,
     Davide
