    Prof. Blaha and wien users.

 I am running wien version 11.1 on a intel core i7 machine  with  Mandriva
2010 operating system, fortran compiler ifort 11.1 and math
    libraries mkl 10.
    The purpose of my calculations is to get forces to perfom surface
structure relaxation.
    I am calculating tungsten slab with the following initial structure

There is the force result of last two iterations:

The difference is because of appearance of huge valence forces in last
iteration:

      VALENCE-FORCE IN mRy/a.u. = |F|   Fx             Fy             Fz

The total forces in the 70-th iteration look unphysical. A very high force
has appeared on the next to the internal layer of the slab
(it is the 6-th layer from the surface).
This leads to an icrease of interlayer distance between internal
monolayers. On the other hand, the total forces in the 69-th iteration are
rather realistic. However, they do not contain the valence-force
corrections.
This effect appears only in the spin-orbit mode.

The questions are:
1. Is it possible to use the forces without  valence-force corrections,
e.g. pure HELLMAN-FEYMAN forces, for the relaxation?

2. Can the spin-orbit mode lead to the wrong forces?
