CCSD(T) Convergence problem

Hi
I have a URCCSD(T) single point calculation for which the SCF 
convergences to a sensible number and the "energy" part of the CCSD(T) 
job converges but the DEN1 is stuck (see output below). I end up with a 
convergence failure and an RHF and CCSD number, but no CCSD(T).
What does a stuck DEN1 mean, and can anyone suggest tricks for getting 
my job to converge?
Thanks,
