[Wien] Segmentation Fault after CORE END

1) What version of Wien2k are you using?
2) What does "cat *.error" show?

This almost certainly has nothing to do with -ec, k-points. Changing ulimit
is obsolete (unless you are using an obsolete version of Wien2k). This
might be an error in mixer, but is more likely to be a setup error.
However, without more information it is not possible to say (yet).
