[molpro-user] Problems with CASSCF calculations of plutonyl (PuO_2)^{+2} in C1 symmetry

Dear MOLPRO users,
I am engaged in CASSCF calculations on uranyl (UO_2)^{+2}, neptunyl 
(NpO_2)^{+2}
and plutonyl (PuO_2)^{+2}.

In order to use the Natural Bond Orbital analysis program (NBO)
we had to reduce the symmetry from D2h -> C2v -> C2 -> C1.

Molpro Version: molpro.2012.1.21

In all three MCSCF calculations the input looks like (only differing in 
the wf card):

(for the complete input&output see attachement)

This works fine for (UO_2)^{+2} and neptunyl (NpO_2)^{+2}!
But for plutonyl (PuO_2)^{+2} I get the following error message in
the MCSCF for the calculation in C1 symmetry (see attached output)

*******************************************


The same error occurs for (UO_2)^{0}. Hence, it works for N=106 
((UO_2)^{+2}) and N=107 ((NpO_2)^{+2}) electrons,
but breaks for N=108 electrons ((PuO_2)^{+2} and (UO_2)^{0}).

Any help to solve the issue would be greatly appreciated,
cheers,
Robert
