[Wien] optimization crashes

Dear Wien2k users,
I am running a PrMnO3 -sp 2Doptimization with 5 vol (-10 to 10) and 5 c/a
(-6 to 6) geometries. Optimisation was ran well till two scf steps (-10, vs
-6.0, -3.0, 0.0) then optiimization gives overlapping sphere error in
2D_V-10.0_COA__3.0 step at the first scf cycle;
'NN' - overlapping spheres
'NN' - RMT( 2)=1.27000 AND RMT( 3)=1.73000
'NN' - SUMS TO 3.00000 GT NNN-DIST= 2.99445
I reduced rmt by 5%, 7% and 9% rmt and then manually reduced rmt of O(2)
by 0.3 and Mn(3) by 0.2 and restarted. Again the optimisation stopped in
third optimisation step i.e. -10 vs 0.0.
What I noticed that in all case rmt for Mn reset automatically to 1.73 from
1.55 or 1.59.
I am running the case with pbesol.
rest all parameters were kept on default.
The warning I am getting is:
RESULT OF INTEGRATION: 183.99531; SHOULD BE: 184.00000
I have two queries:
1. Should I run the case with TEMP 0.00x (x-=2-6)? Does it solve the
overlapping sphere error?
2. Is it possible to reduce rmt for O and Mn atom in the 2D_V-10.0_COA__3.0
step and start the calculation from the point where it gave sphere size
error?
I will be grateful if some useful tips are given to solve the issue.
Regards
Bhamu
