[molpro-user] Molpro not clearing memory

Dear Molpro Users:

I am running Molpro on part of a cluster (one machine) as part of a molecular 
dynamics simulation for fromaldehyde.  Currently, Molpro is used to calculate 
gradients of both energy and dipole moments once per step for 5000+ steps.

The program works, but whenever Molpro is called it does not release memory, 
causing a progressively more serious memory shortage until the machine is 
rebooted.  I would be most grateful if anyone can advise on how to prevent 
this.

The cluster has two Opteron 246 (2 GHz) processors (4 GB memory), but the 
problem also exists on a local machine with two Pentium 4 (3.00 GHz) 
processors (1 GB memory).

Sincerely,

Jesse Kadosh
