[Wien] CIF file gives wrong nearest neighbor distances

Hello,
  I am a new user of Wien2K. I am trying to calculate the bandstructure for
Bismuth, and I have generated the struct file using the CIF from the ICSD.
However, after running nn it gives me a nearest neighbor distance of
2.005bohr instead of the correct value of
5.79 bohr. Could someone please tell me what might be the cause of the
problem?

Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Matthew
