[Wien] DOS calculation for GGA+U+SO is still incorrect.

Dear Peter,
Thank you very much for your help!
(Upon your request, I post this to the mailing list.)
Your suggestion (when running DOS for +U calculation I have to use x
lapw2 -qtl -p -up/dn -orb -so, followed by x tera -up/dn) solved my
problem.
I have two followup questions.
(1) Are GGA+U+SO results in Wien2k_13 trustworth? Or just the
calculation for DOS is incorrect, not the actual results such as spin
moment, optical properties, total energies?
I noticed that although Wien2k_13 (I am using) and Wien2k_16 give the
same peak position (energy) for 4F states, the shapes of DOS differ.
5D states are not affected by this since U is affed to 4F only, as
expected.
(2) I did notice a strange behavior with +U calculation.
Using Wien2k_13, after the second iteration, the output on the
terminal looks like this (suppose that I have three nodes)
ORB END
ORB END
LAPW1 END
LAPW1 END
LAPW1 END
LAPW1 END
LAPW1 END
LAPW1 END
... ...
But with Wien2k_16, I have
ORB END
ORB END
ORB END <----one extra
LAPW1 END
LAPW1 END
LAPW1 END
LAPW1 END
LAPW1 END
LAPW1 END
... ...
Therefore, Wien2k_13 version misses one iteration over the orbital
part.
Should I be concerned about this difference?
Thank you very much once again!
Best regards,
Guoping
