[molpro-user] numerical result out of range

Dear Molpro Users,
Recently I tried performing a large calculation (75 atoms with ~1750
contracted basis functions) using the LBE0 functional (basically PBE0 with
the HF replaced with LHF), and encountered the following error:

Last System Error Message from Task 0:: Numerical result out of range

The calculation crashes right around the first iteration, and any
information that is printed looks perfectly normal and in line with what I
would expect.  Furthermore, I've ran this calculation in both serial and
parallel, and it only crashes in parallel (I've ran it on both 4 and 2
processors on two different computers with the same results).  However
when I run the job in serial, it works just fine (and the first iteration
results match up), so this seems to be a problem with parallel execution.

I've looked through the archives and saw a similar issue cropped up a
couple years back, but no solution appears to have been posted.  Any
suggestions would be welcome as to the source of this problem.

Thanks,
