[Wien] Insufficient virtual memory - LAPW2

Dear Prof. Blaha,

Thank you for your answer, actually, there are no unlimited  
restriction on the machines. I tested a sample case on multiple (a, b  
and c) machines which have the same installation of WIEN2K-12 (OS and  
software), they just differ in CPU, RAM and Diskspeed.  The SCF was  
converged successfully in machine "c" but it was crashed in the first  
and third iteration of "a" and "b" machines respectively, because of  
insufficient virtual memory.  Convergence successfully in one machine  
shows the input files are all right and there is no error in the  
binaries/rights.
So, I was wondering why it works in one machine and not in the other.

Best regards,
Salman
