[Wien] Wien2k OPTIC crashing for XMCD calculation

You cannot do XMCD without spin-orbit coupling.

You NEVER added a line with lapwso in your description of what you 
actually did and also the lapw2 step (-fermi) is missing.

Please check carefully the UG and previous posts on the EXACT sequence 
of commands.

If this does not help, send us the EXACT list of commands you entered !!
