[Wien] lapw2.error in big system

[Jorissen Kevin]

For large cases, that's perfectly possible.
I just had a case with 40 inequivalent atoms, where rkmax was reduced from 7 to 6.31; NMATMAX was set to 9000 on my computer.  That is a real case (ie, lapw1 and not lapw1c).
This case has NE = 1300 by the way, the total number of atoms in the unit cell is 162.
 
Kevin.

	Dear prof.:
	But I have set NMATMAX=10000, NUME=2000 already. I think the parameters is big enough, so why there is a ":WARN :      WARNING: RKmax reduced due to NMATMAX" and an error in lapw2.error?
	Best regards

		One band holds 2 electrons !! (non-spinpolarized case), thus NUME must be
		at least 1783/2. Put it larger (especially if you are also interested
		in unoccupied states), like NUME=1000
		
		PS: For such a large case, I hope you have a big computer!!! and could increase
		NMATMAX, so that you can get a reasonable :RKM
