[molpro-user] RESTART: optimization task

Dear Molpro Users and Developers,

I observed a problem with a RESTART capability of a molpro job: MOLPRO
didn't make a restart of geometry optimization when I used mentioned
below input. It starts usual calculation - freq. calculation, then
opt.
Would I ask you please how to overcome the situation? The calculation
takes a lot of time but time-limit is a hard limit of a cluster (but
freq. calculation passed with several geom. opt. cycles).

A restart file:

PS: I have read in the list about problems with restarts. i hope my
case can be successfully passed.
