[molpro-user] CCS(T) calculation restart

It looks to me as if this job has died during the calculation of the perturbative triples correction. Without knowing the number of electrons and basis functions, it is difficult to be sure, but looking at the time taken for CCSD iterations, this looks like a very big job for which the time needed to do (T) may be very large indeed. Unfortunately there is no restart facility for the triples.

Perhaps this is a case that could be treated reasonably using local correlation methods?
