[Wien] error in lapw2 - parallel

My guess:

Since this is such a short test calculation for a parallel run, the NFS
might not have written all necessary files ??

Does the error occur in a sequential run ?

or if you use only   2 parallel jobs ??

ls -als *error        which error files are not empty ??

cat *.error   (without space !)
