Set your cutoff to 9999. This will make the minimization converge
more smoothly, and will remove any effect of changing cutoffs.
I generally find that conjugate gradient minimization is fine...no need
for Newton-Raphson. Just be patient (i.e. run lots of cycles of
minimization).
....good luck...dac
