I can reproduce approximately your value. I suppose that the
results in this paper are not accurate since they use the
tight-binding-LMTO-ASA method.

Note that you quote the value from vLB94 and not LB94.
If you want to use vLB94, you need to replace
beta=0.05d0 by their value in this file
$WIENROOT/SRC_lapw0/lb94.f
and recompile
