[molpro-user] optg fails during initial hessian with "variable not registered"

Hello,
I am using an mpp version of 2008.1 patch level 14 compiled with ifort 10.1 and
using goto blas 1.26 and lapack 3.1.1.  As is shown below, I'm using hessproc in
order to use a smaller basis set when calculating the hessian.

The job fails at the start of task 507 (out of 564) with the following error
message.

...

******************
 Starting task 507.  CPU=495619.46 sec, Elapsed=502778.93 sec
 Incrementing variable CLCC10           by  1.000000 DEG   to  110.538168 DEG
 Incrementing variable                  by  0.010000       to  110.548168


I'm a little curious as to whether this is a random crash or not b/c these
calculations take so long.  I'm inclined toward the former b/c 507 doesn't
coincide with any preset limits and no variable is listed in the error
message.However, I thought I'd check just to be sure.  I've included the input
file below.
Thanks,
