Their may be several possibilities that cause the crash:

1.) a real problem in the program, then you may recompile at least lapw1c with 
the option -traceback (check the Fortran manual) then the lines you gave 
below should tell were the error occurs, next you can try do debug the 
program (switch on the appropriate debug options before compiling) using the 
idb debugger coming with Intel fortran (if you installed it together with 
Fortran).

2.) there may be some incompatibilities with the libraries you use. libc.so.6 
suggests that you used dynamic linking, in that case you may check if there 
are version conflicts between the libraries, try to find out more information 
by using ldd and ld -M. In that case ask your administrator to solve the 
conflicts.
You can also try to start with less aggresive optimization options (-O0 but 
becomes very slow).

3) check some of the tips given by others in the Wien or Intel userforums, 
sometimes those tips may help to solve particular problems.

4) something with your input may be wrong.
I experienced recently a similar problem with lapw1 (not lapw1c) for a much 
smaller system namely simple fcc Ni, it seems that the program crashed when 
one of the rmt's was too big, actually I did not find the internal cause of 
the crash.

Ciao and good luck
