[Wien] uplapw1.def failed

Dr. Chakrabarti,

Looking at your "LCrT_GGA_opt_CrAFM_vol____1.00.struct" in a text 
editor, I see you have a P lattice:

P   LATTICE,NONEQUIV.ATOMS: 56

Which if the P lattice structure is not reduced by sgroup, it is 
probably computational demanding.

In your email below, I see:

lapw1  -up     -c (02:23:17) Killed

In the post at [1], you should see I encountered as similar error before:

nlvdw     (17:47:33) Killed

As you should see at [2], it turned out it my case that when I checked 
my /var/log that my calculation was killed by my operating system as my 
computer hardware did not have enough memory to perform that calculation.

So in addition to what Prof. Marks previously stated, that could be 
another possible cause of your error.
