This is a typical example of a DEPE (Dark Energy Perturbation Error). By 
spurious events in the universe, dark energy is focussed at some areas 
of the Earth's surface. As a result, computers at those places start to 
generate random results when solving Kohn-Sham equations. Apparently you 
are living in a place that is currently suffering from these conditions.

However, if I run your calculations at my place on the Earth's surface, 
they behave perfectly fine.

This should be more or less the case.struct which you use (the lattice 
constant was in your previous mail):

bccFe
B   LATTICE,NONEQUIV.ATOMS:  1 12 C2/m
MODE OF CALC=RELA unit=bohr
   5.410000  5.410000  5.410000 90.000000 90.000000 90.000000
ATOM   1: X=0.00000000 Y=0.00000000 Z=0.00000000
           MULT= 1          ISPLIT= 2
Fe1        NPT=  781  R0=.000500000 RMT=   2.20000   Z:  26.
LOCAL ROT MATRIX:    1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
                      0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000
                      0.0000000 0.0000000 1.0000000
    0      NUMBER OF SYMMETRY OPERATIONS

I put this in an empty directory, and initialize by (you use RkMax=8):

init -b -rkmax 8 -numk 3000 -ecut -7 -vxc 13

Next, I execute the command you quoted (you used run, not runsp) :

run_lapw -cc 0.0001 -ec 0.0001 -in1new 4

This converges in 10 iterations, and the final case.in1 is:

WFFIL        (WFPRI, SUPWF)
  8       10    4 (R-MT*K-MAX; MAX L IN WF, V-NMT
  .44337   5   0      global e-param with N other choices, napw
  0    0.290     0.000 CONT 1
  0   -5.752     0.001 STOP 1
  1    0.441     0.000 CONT 1
  1   -3.258     0.001 STOP 1
  2    0.512     0.000 CONT 1
K-VECTORS FROM UNIT:4  -10.0       2.0    13   red   emin/emax/nband

Hence, the solution to your problem is:

1) wait until the DEPE conditions have moved to another spot

or

2) get access to a computer at the opposite side of the Earth, and run 
your calculations there.
