[Wannier] band structure interpolation ends up with wiggly bands

Dear wannier90 users and developers,

I am using wannier90-1.2 and vasp5.3 to obtain the wannier wave function of
gold with spin-orbital coupling. I used d5s orbital as target. However, it
ends up with some wiggly bands as shown by the attached figure. I have
tried different projection (d5), and k-mesh, but I still failed to get the
smooth bands. Does anyone know what causes the wiggly bands and how to get
rid of them?


My wannier90 input file is:
===========================================
num_wann  = 12  ! set to NBANDS by VASP
num_bands = 12

exclude_bands : 1-2, 15-16

spinors = .true.

Thank you very much in advance!
