[Wien] L2main - QTL-B Error

Your spheres are so small, that a P-s LO is not necessary and causes the
problems.
for the P atom change case.in1:
 >>  0.30    4  0                                <--------- change 4 to 3
 >>  1    0.30      0.000 CONT 1
 >>  1   -8.80      0.005 STOP 1
 >>  0   -0.79      0.010 CONT 1
 >>  0    0.30      0.000 CONT 1                  <------- remove this line

PS: I've never done a PO4 unit, which cause these extremely small spheres.
Tests would be necessary which RMTs are "good". ( bigger P ??)
