[Wien] Bandstructure Plot Splits

It seems to be some low symmetry case ?

WIEN2k determines "directions" and finds correctly, that the direction 
changes (drawing a line). On the other hand, it calculates the distance 
between points, and if this distance suddenly increases a lot (as in 
your case), it "thinks" there should be an offset.

In addition, I can see that even the intervals are not the same (97 or 
98) in the second direction.

Maybe some rounding problem in xcrysden ??

Try using a denser mesh in the second direction.
