[Wien] questions about electron density plot

Dear Professor Blaha and Wien2k users,
I have some questions about plotting electron density difference using
lapw5. As far as I can see, the file case.sigma contains the
contributions of only valence electrons of atoms,
i.e. those explicitly specified in case.inst. Since the core electrons
are not frozen during the SCF iteration, one can not really get the
electron density difference from valence electron density, stored in
case.clmval, and the atomic density overlap based on case.sigma.
I tried to make some density difference plot, and I always see very
large numbers around nuclei, which, I think, is due to the fact that
core electron density in atoms and in solids are different. Am I
correct? Maybe I have made some stupid mistakes?
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Hong
