[Wien] Possible bug for "run_lapw -so" with TEMPS for finite T smearing

Dear Prof. Peter Blaha:
    For the case of TEMP, the difference is -T*S/4, which is as expected
since there is just a factor of 1/2 difference for the entropy contribution
between TEMP and TEMPS. Thanks.
    Regards, Yongxin

case of TEMPS with spin-orbit coupling paramagnetic calculation. Thanks.
