runsp_c_lapw has NOTHING to do with complex calculations but "constrains" 
the magnetic  moment in a "spin-polarized setup to zero (i.e. does a 
non-spinpolarized calculation even with a "spinpolarized setup".

Usefull for LDA+U calculations, which require the "spin-polarized setup", 
but you may want to have a nonmagnetic solution.

PS: I'm sure this is described in the UG
