[Wien] problems with version of wien2k_08

[Laurence Marks]

If a job is taking 3 months to converge, almost certainly you are
running the minimization with too high an accuracy. As suggested in
the FAQ on minimization you should reduce the accuracy for
minimization and only increase it later for the final calculation(s).
For instance I typically use an RKMAX value such that RKMAX/min(RMT)
is 2.5-3 for minimization and 1/4 or less the number of k-points. For
instance, with 47 inequivalent atoms I would probably only use 1
k-point and mpi.

I would suggest that you run a single run, and check that it converges
OK. You will probably want to run lstart again and x dstart -super
(with -up/-dn if needed) to ensure that you have the relevant files
setup for a minimization.
