Hello again,
has nobody any ideas concerning that problem?
I hoped that Dr. Bálint Aradi could help, since he is the co-author of 
the paper cited.
Because it is an easy calculation it should not be a problem to 
reproduce reported results.
For this reason I think this should be discussed because it directly 
affects the transferability of the code.

Thanks for helping.
