[Wien] warning during initialization

Hi,

Hi, I do my calculation on a cluster. And the queue system is torque. I
always submit a job to the cluster and get 24 hours of computation time and
4 nodes with each node 8 cores and 8G memory. When WIEN2k is running in
parallel, I found error files like dnlapw1_1.error  are not empty.
However, the calculation can run perfectly well and give reasonable result.
Those error files are automatically cleaned and new error files appear. Has
anyone encountered such a problem?
