You reached the default maximum of 40 iterations. Just re-issue your 
run(sp)_lapw command with as extra switch -NI. This continues where you 
stopped, for another 40 iterations.

If you know in advance you might need more than 40 iterations, you can 
use the -i xxx switch, where xxx is the upper limit for the number of 
iteration.
