    <p>Just a thought, maybe it doesn't help, but have you checked the
      :log file for which programs are involved in your calculation. 
      Then, used that to check if there are differences in the code for
      those programs that could affect your calculation using the
      updates list on WIEN2k website:<br>

    </p>
    <p>For example, if you see lapw1 in your :log file, do you see any
      change to SRC_lapw1 in the update list that could effect your
      calculation?</p>
    <p>Similarly, are there any fixes from the mailing list archive that
      you have applied to the WIEN2k 17.1 code [

      ] and/or WIEN2k 16.1 code that look like they could cause
      differences in your calculation?  Or are you using the original
      code packages without any modifications?</p>
    <p>What compilers did you use to build WIEN2k?  For the
      2016/2017/2018 Intel compilers, there seems to be a lot of reports
      in the mailing list indicating that many calculations run fine but
      some calculations that would normally run fine consistently fail
      but somewhat randomly such that corruption of file data might be
      caused by Intel compiler bugs or breaking of older file I/O code
      to improve the compliance with more recent Fortran specifications
      [

      ].  If there are differences in code files, the compiler might
      optimize differently producing different executable instructions. 
      If your not already using -O0 [

      16.1 and WIEN2k 17.1 compiler settings, you could try that to see
      if it makes a difference or not.<br>
