[Wien] Reg: Error in irrep step in FM case

With your struct file I could reproduce the problem.

Unfortunately the problem is NOT in irrep, but actually and lapw1 and 
thus it can point to a SEVERE ERROR in lapw1 !!!

The structure is :
R   LATTICE,NONEQUIV.ATOMS: 12 166 R-3m 

              RELA 

   8.259992  8.259992 250.025749 90.000000 90.000000120.000000

so the problem concerns as far as I know:

i)   R lattices (it could also be for B ??)     AND
ii)  very different lattice parameters (as above with 8 and 250 !!!) AND
iii) RKmax is sufficiently large.

In such (exotic ??) cases the generated k-vectors in lapw1 might not 
correspond to the smallest possible ones, but some smaller k-vectors 
might be missing. (It depends on KVEC1,2,3 in param.inc. There is a 
security check in coors, but that works only for P, H lattices, but not 
for R lattices).

Thus I made a new check in coors.f, increasing the KVEC1,2,3 by some 
value until the generated k-vector list does not change anymore.

As I said before, this could be a SEVERE error, which is difficult to 
detect (fortunately irrep finds the resulting symmetry breaking).
On the other hand, as far as I understand it occurs ONLY for such 
extreme differences in lattice parameters.

Please replace in SRC_lapw1 the attached coors.f and recompile all lapw1 
versions:
make; make complex
and in mpi case: make rp; make cp


Thanks for the report

Regards
