Too Many Active Orbitals?

[Peter Knowles]

Yes, the number of closed+active (mrci, rs2) or active (mcscf, rs2c)
orbitals can be at most half of the number of bits in an integer
(integers are used to store patterns with 2 bits per active
orbital). Apologies that this is not clearly stated in the manual.
