Dear All,

I am using the latest Wien2k release and am having a problem applying GGA+U.

The problem is that in my case, the orbital occupation is oscillating 
its direction of angular momentum projection:

I suspect that there is something wrong in my setup, but can not find 
the issue. The orbital potential is only applied to atom 2 of the 
structure. If I run with -orbc, I am able to stop the oscillation, but 
the case.vorbdn and case.dmatdn do not seem to agree. I am finding that 
an orbital potential case.vorbdn:
