[Wien] LAPW2 crashed when running in parallel

Dear Wei,

Maybe -machinefile is ok for your mpirun. Which options are appropriate 
for it? What does help say?

Try to restore your MPIRUN variable with -machinefile and rerun the 
calculation. Then see what is in .machine0/1/2 files and let us know. It 
should contain 8 lines of r1i0n0 node and 8 lines of r1i0n1 node.

One more thing you should check is $WIENROOT/parallel_options file. What 
is its content?

Best regards,
    Maxim Rakitin
