[Wien] Problem in the Interfacial energy calculation

[Laurence Marks]

Without more information nobody is going to be able to help you as we have
no idea what your structure is, your RMTs, your cell size, your computer
speed, cores...and more. Probably you have these incorrect, but I am just
guessing. For certain, whenever I see "-c" I start to suspect that the
calculation has been incorrectly setup.
