Seclr4 error is oftent due to the Cholesky factorization failing, i.e.
the matrix not being positive definite (google the terms if you don't
understand them). I am currently trying to trace the exact reason for
this, and I think it is due to both the 'B' and 'C' coefficients of
the APW+lo terms being very small (< 1E-5). Can you please check for
this in the case.output1_X files (X=whatever) and let me know. The
temporary cure is to change slightly the energy in your case.in1 file.
I've only seen this myself with S states, but it might occur in other
cases.
