[Wien] wrong site multiplicity in R-3m Fe-Ga-Si

Dear Wien2k users,

I have tried to start calculations of Fe-Ga-Si compound in the R-3m 
space group. I have entered unitcell in hexagonal setting into 
structgen. I have transformed hexagonal coordinates through the 
hex2rhomb to rhombohedral and entered them to structgen and some of the 
atoms were multiplied wrongly. Correct multiplicities are Fe1 - 6, Fe2 - 
6, Ga1 - 6, Ga2 - 6, Si1 - 1, Si2 -1 and structgen generated  Fe1 - 12, 
Fe2 - 12, Ga1 - 12, Ga2 - 6, Si1 - 1, Si2 -1, so positions of Fe1, Fe2 
and Ga2 were generated improperly. When I enter rhombohedral coordinates 
generated by the powdercell software, structgen generates next 
multiplicities: Fe1 - 12, Fe2 - 6, Ga1 - 6, Ga2 - 6, Si1 - 1, Si2 - 1, 
so only Fe1 is wrong now. What could be the reason? I have attached 
corresponding struct files.
