[molpro-user] question about molpro

[Peter Knowles]

There is no 8Gb limit. On some old linux systems where file addressing  
is limited to 2Gb offsets, that's all you'll get. If Molpro is built  
with 32-bit integers, it is likely that you will get failures beyond  
16Gb.

Are you sure that the scratch filesystem pointed to by Molpro's -d  
(and maybe -1, -2,..) options is big enough?
