[Wien] Ghost Band and Spin Orbit Coupling Band Calculation for Bi

Hello Wien Users,
  I have posted some questions before on the forum about a problem I've been
having in getting the correct band structure of Bi, taking into account
spin-orbit. Without spin orbit coupling the SCF converges very nicely, and
the corresponding band structure looks correct. However, after I put in the
SO the resulting band structure is off by several eVs, with the addition of
many ghost bands in the low energy area. The procedure I used was (all
through w2web):
initso
run_lapw -so
x lapw1 -band
x lapwso
x spaghetti.
  After going through the files, I found an error message in .scf2:

 QTL-B VALUE .EQ.   10.47804   in Band of energy   - 0.41098   ATOM=    1
L=  0
    Most likely no ghostbands, but adjust Energy-parameters or use -in1new


:WARN : QTL-B value eq.  10.48  in Band of energy  -0.41098   ATOM=    1
L=  0
:WARN : You should change the E-parameter in case.in1 or use -in1new switch

  And also in .scf:
