The projector augmented wave (PAW) formalism of Blöchl [PRB 50 1795
(1994)] has been implemented in a number of electronic structure code packages
and generally has become an important tool for density functional simulations
of materials. However, occasionally unphysical results are generated. A
source for such occasional anomalous behavior is traced to one
contribution present in some codes that use the reformulation of the
exchange-correlationterms introduced by Kresse et al. [PRB 59
1758 (1999)]. A remedy is discussed which has been implemented in new
versions of the atomic dataset generation program ATOMPAW [CPC 135 329
(2001)].
