[Wien] Re: -Wien- Symmetry changed during geometry optimization

[Peter Blaha]

You have large forces, and for the 6th atom (which causes problems) they 
are -300 -300 +300.
Unfortunately when I introduced the new format for the :FGL printout, I 
did not change the corresponding line in min_lapw properly and it cuts 
away the "-" sign of the x-force. This leads than that mini gets forces 
like   +300 -300 +300   and it will break symmetry.

You need to change the following line in min_lapw and extend the range to 
-c32-91 instead of -c34-91:

  grep :FGL $file.scf | tail -$natom | cut -c32-91 >> $file.finM

Note, that mini will also fail if you have forces like -1000. in Fy or Fz,
because there is no space left.

I'll change the printout in SRC_mixer and the min_lapw script with the 
next update.

Thank's for your report
