I can confirm that 2 l-values per atom do not work with lapwso, but 
should work with lapw1.

However, I do not have a fix for this and in fact I do not really plan 
to introduce one, since I do not believe in putting U on two different l 
values for the same atom is good physics.

For instance in your Gd example, the Gd-d states are too delocalized to 
be treated with LDA+U. If you feel that GGA does not describe them well, 
use mBJ+U.

I will, however, introduce a stop in lapwso so that the program does not 
run (and neglects the first U value without telling you).
