Yes, this can happen.

Towards end of the scf (or when mixer mixes very little, the iterative diagonalization may fail with a linear dependency error (Cholesky). This is trapped in the run_lapw script and a "normal" lapw1 is restarted.

If it happens more often, one should change the number of bands in the iterative diagonalization (NBAND in the bottom of case.in1).

The "WARNINGS" probably come from mixer, where he finds that some mixing conditions are strange and issues a warning. Unfortunately, no explicit explanation of this warning is printed.

Hi List,

I started a calculation with ‘runsp … -it -noHinv -min’, and noticed
that lapw1 was being called three times per cycle: once with ‘-up
-it’, then ‘-up’, ‘-dn’ without ‘it’ (after the first two, when :MIX
switched from PRATT to MSE1a).  Is that normal?

Note that the calculation seemed to be running normally; there was a
*WARNING** from scfm, but I could not find any details about that.

 From the scf:
