realizing it, this is why I refixed my reply with "Not going into
discussion whether this would be beneficial or not" -:)
By suggesting this test I was thinking to catch some gross errors in
unit cell parameters (that were probably not compensated by refinement
of other parameters). My previous experience with some other similar
searches tells me that you can find almost everything in this database.
