[Wien] Semicore band ranges too large

For small C spheres, the setting of an LO for C-2s may lead to problems, 
in particular when one is not yet self-consistent.


If you set iqtlsave to zero for some time, it is fine, but at the end of 
the scf you should switch it back and check if the error is still 
present. Also check for qtl-b warnings.

If the error comes back, it needs a deeper investigation, but probably 
you can remove this error by

i) choosing larger C-RMT (the present structure would allow larger spheres)

ii) removing the C-2s LO (second line for l=0 for all C atoms).
