[Wien] symmetry in optimization

Does it happen in an H lattice ?
We are aware of this problem and the next release will fix it. It is 
simply due to conversons between karthesian and hexagonal coordinate 
systems, where the forces have only few significant digits printed out.

> It seems that the symmetry changes during the mini_lapw process. Here I only want to optimize the internal parameters, why does the symmetry change? 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)
