linear dependent basis

[H. -J. Werner]

Dear Molpro users,
there was recently some discussion about the error
message " ERROR: BASIS LINEARLY DEPENDENT OR WRONG S"
I looked at one of the problems and found that this
was simply an input error (bond distances almost
zero). If you get this message, you should first 
check your geometry, in particular the printed
bond distances!! The error message comes when the
smallest eigenvalue of the AO overlap matrix is 
smaller than 1.d-8, and this indicates that
something is really wrong.
