[Wien] SCAN+U in k parallel using Wien2k 21.1

Hi,

If I remember correctly, this was a known issue in 21.1 and has been 
fixed in version 23.x

You can try and simply replace lapw2para_lapw by the new version and 
check if it goes away. However, I cannot guarantee 100% compatibility, 
although I think it should be ok.

Version 23.2 does not seem to have this problem.

Regards
