I'm using 64bit ifort on Intel Xeons and do not have problems.
Maybe intel has "built in" some errors for AMD processors ?

PS: Just as a reminder for all of you who want to buy 64bit machines for
WIEN2k:   It seems as if Intel Xeons perform significantly better in lapw1
than AMD Opterons (while other parts like lapw0 and lapw2 run almost at the
same speed; and for other programs it might be even the opposite).
