However, you have L=1 lines with energies that are near to the value for 
which you got the QTL-B error for L=2 (-3.20 Ry). That should not 
happen. Something else is definitely wrong. Bad RMT-values? (did you 
accept the proposal of setrmt_lapw during initialization?)

* check your RMT's, if appropriate
* reinitialize
* use -in1ef right from the beginning
