Check the eigenvalues in case.scf1 if they are meaningful (enough states for the number of electrons). You may compare them to a successful calculation for another volume. Maybe you need to increase EMAX (case.in1), or simply your starting density for a large volume change is so bad that you cannot run with this density.
Try  x dstart  and then rerun the job.

Thank you Sir Gavin Abo. Actually, I am using this version for long time
and working quite well.  I dont think so that this version is creating
problem as it is performing right calculations for other alloys (even
from -30 to 15 % vol.change) as well as for the same alloy from -20 to
20 % volume change. As Prof. P. Bala has suggested earlier to change k
mesh and Emax. I have done these two jobs but the problem persists.

    Your LOWER and UPPER BOUND values are the same and SOS values are

    One user was able to solve the problem by using the latest Wien2k
    version and not an old buggy version
    [http://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg09737.html].

    I think another user had to increase NUME in SRC_lapw1/param.inc
    using siteconfig (siteconfig recommends that NUME =
    sqrt(MEMORY/10)/10, so the computer should have enough random access
    MEMORY to do so)
    
[http://www.mail-archive.com/wien%40zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg07933.html].

    A -25% volume change seems quite large, so maybe that could also
    cause the problem.  I would suggest you first try and make sure you
    can successfully calculate some smaller volume change like -5%,
    before you continue towards such a large change in volume.

    Dear Sir Gavin Abo
    Thank you for you kind response. I have checked these links. What
    I understood is to increase Emax value. Any other option please?
    The error file (uplapw2.error) has following message

        There is usually a more detailed message for 'FERMI - Error'

        You checked all error files in the case directory (cat
        *.error), and they were empty?

            Dear Wien2k Users

            Can you please pull me out of this error? Many times it is
            appearing while performing Optimization calculations. The
            wien2k version is 12 and installed on fedora 17 64 bit.
            Lattice constant I used is 4.397 and it is ternary alloy
