Please check your SRC_joint/rotdef.f

Does it contain lines like:
            if(lattic(1:1).eq.'B') then
              x1=mod(x1+0.500000001d0,one)
              y1=mod(y1+0.500000001d0,one)
              z1=mod(z1+0.500000001d0,one)
or:
            if(lattic(1:1).eq.'B') then
              x1=mod(x1+0.5d0,one)
              y1=mod(y1+0.5d0,one)
              z1=mod(z1+0.5d0,one)

The former case should be ok, the latter is an old version and you should
simply update your WIEN code.
