[Wien] Question on internal parameter optimization

Hi, Laurence,

I checked the last updated date of that clmaddsub program , it is
17-Aug-2007, so I'm sure the version of  Wien2k is wien2k_07.3. Anyway, I
still updated that program, but as a result, those errors remained. Maybe
the info I provided is not that clear, let me make a quick summary of what I
have done:

1. I wanted to calculate Bismuth R-3m, CIF file downloaded from ICSD.
2. I went through init_lapw during which the struct file has been modified
by "sgroup" to be Rhomb settings. And RMT=2.8, RKmax=7.0, 3000 K points,  no
spin-polarization.
3. I went through SCF calculations and the generated  bandstructure seemed
to be correct.
4. I proceeded to internal parameters optimization with default PORT
settings, but after a cycle (a cycle of mini), it stopped with error
pointing to clmaddsub and also some severe end of file during reading
errors.
5. I tried NEW1, NEWT, they didn't work, the errors generated were exactly
the same
6. I cannot find way out.

the struct file from CIF file before "sgroup"

That's all, appreciate your help!
