[Wien] total energy

If the QTL-b warning happens during the scf cycles, but is not present in the final cycles,
there should be no problems. If it is still present at the final cycle, you should do
something with the l=1 energy parameters of atom 14 (and related atoms).

Also the NE-warnings should not matter too much (limits accuracy of iterative diagonalization;
you cannot get DOS of higher empty states), only in cases where NE is almost NUME, it may
yield to wrong occupations for a metal, since a partly occupied "band" could be missing....
