The error message in lapw2.error was the following:
-----------------------
 'FERMI' - EFERMI OUT OF ENERGY RANGE
 'FERMI' - STOP IN EFI
 'FERMI' - ENERGY OF LOWER BOUND                 :  -6.96787

**  testerror: Error in Parallel LAPW2
------------------------

I tried "grep :DIS case.scf" but it gives just a normal decreasing
values:

:DIS  :  CHARGE DISTANCE       0.9287374
:DIS  :  CHARGE DISTANCE       0.8719737
:DIS  :  CHARGE DISTANCE       0.1495920
:DIS  :  CHARGE DISTANCE       0.1492079

In fact, I'm already using small mixing parameter of 1.0.

Thank you so much for your great help !
