[Wien] possible bug in orb

Thanks for the report.

However, I would call this not a bug, but a "feature" (or maybe the bug 
is that it does not complain when s or p electrons are selected).

It does not make sense to apply LDA+U to s or p electrons. They are 
always delocalized (non-correlated) electrons.
