[Wien] lapw2 -so crashes for GaAs

Hello all Wien2k user,

     I am trying some test run for unpolarized GaAs bulk structure. The job runs fine without the spin-orbit coupling (SO) but when I
add SO, it crashes after running 2 cycles. I have tried few independent runs as is suggested in the mailing list but it
always crashes after 2 cycles when SO is added. I also have tried spin polarized structure but the outcome was same. The spin-orbit
calculation for other cystals structures such as fcc and dhcp works fine, so I suspect I am probably doing something wrong with the
set up of GaAs.  I am wondering if anyone can suggest me how to fix the problem. I have attached the error messages from the dayfile 
and the log file along with the structure file.


Thanks,
fislam
