Hi all,

I would like to calculate uccsd energy of triplet state of hydorgen dimer
using a custom-made basis set (the input file is attached below).
However, calculation ends at the Hartree-Fock level with following error:

1PROGRAM * RHF-SCF (OPEN SHELL)       Authors: W. Meyer, H.-J. Werner

 ERROR EXIT


What I find really confusing about this is that the calculated HF energy
(-0.99961598h) seems to be quite reasonable to me as opposed to the
energy Molpro estimated (-0.34h). Is there any way to control how Molpro
estimates the energy or any way to force the calculation to proceed
despite the error message? I would appreciate any comments.
