[molpro-user] rs2 transition state geometry optimization dies at first rs2 single point calc

Hello,
I was running an rs2 geometry optimization (MS-MR-CASPT2) and I received the
following error, page error in cidps_ms.  I couldn't find any past references to
this error on the mailing list.  The error occurs in the first rs2 single point
before the rs2 optimization begins.  At this point the mcscf optimization and
frequency calculations have just finished.  I included the tail end of the
output file below and have attached my input file.  The ci vector output (also
included below) didn't look pathological to me as both states are dominated by
one term, but I could be interpreting those incorrectly as I'm just learning to
use multireference calculations.

If I use a different active space (18 active, 11 closed) which worked fine.  I
didn't try 20A/9C yet because of limited computational time at the moment.  I
also tried SS-SR-CASPT2 doing the optimization with the ground state and this
works fine as well.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
