[Wien] Continuation after the crash

[Stefaan Cottenier]

Both variants will work. Variant b) can save you a little bit of time, 
but is in a few situations not necessarily stable (that depends on the 
state of the program at the moment of the crash).

Anyway, in your case, with a crash in lap0, it will not matter at all: 
the execution time of lapw0 is marginal compared to the duration of 1 
iteration.
