[Wien] too large kpoints and nonscf calculations

There is no problem with kgen for a simple fcc Al structure. After redimensioning it gives:

82 82 82
        12803  k-points generated, ndiv=          82          82          82


Just follow the guidance at the screen and redimension ord1.f, recompile using make
AND      cp kgen ..    !!!!
-------------------------------------
However, my output of kgen does not agree with yours:

 >> NUMBER OF K-POINTS IN WHOLE CELL: (0 allows to specify 3 divisions of G)
 >> length of reciprocal lattic vectors: 1.422 1.422 1.422 66.943 66.943
 >> 66.943
 >> nmax too large in ord1.f, set indexm at least 1724976

  length of reciprocal lattice vectors:   1.423   1.423   1.423   0.000   0.000   0.000
   Specify 3 mesh-divisions (n1,n2,n3):
82 82 82
  nmax too large in ord1.f, set indexm at least      3308208


My angles are 0.000 and my indexm is 3308208 !!!

Old and outdated WIEN2k version ?
