The current minimization might not keep the symmetry in a few cases; this
should be fixed shortly. Of course, if you don't converge things right
and/or have wrong variable parameters symmetry will (correctly) be lost.

Doesn't WIEN keep the symmetry during minimization or did I do something wrong? (The command line I used is: min -j "run_lapw -i 50 -p -fc 1" with version WIEN2k_03)
