[molpro-user] VSCF,VCI problems

This is a bug in 2010.1 (it will be fixed in the next major release of 
Molpro), but the following advice from Michael Neff works around the 
problem:

The bug can be avoided using:

cpmcscf,grad,state

instead of:

cpmcscf,hess

which is in my opinion the better solution, since it avoids the 
unnecessary calculation of the hessian.

Best wishes,

Andy
