[Wien] weird parallel problem

[Peter Blaha]

Sorry, but I have to disagree.

Maybe it was never mentioned, but the "NFS-bug" problems NEVER appeared 
with the ifc7 executables (on our sites), so it is specific to ifort AND 
some Linux-Kernel version.

If you can, try to upgrade the Linux.

Otherwise our conclusion was to remove files before they ere rewritten.
I've put several such rm ...   statements in the scripts by now, but I'm 
not sure if I've done this for lapwsopara !
One could remove all energyso, vectorso,... files before lapwso.
