The vec2old_lapw script is used in a number of places in afm and
iterative calculations. If you want a special version just for a qtl
calculation I suggest that you change it to vec2old_mine and add an
extry in x_lapw, while retaining the original.

I may have misunderstood -- does vec2old fail in a normal iterative
calculation (e.g. -it or -noHinv)?
