[molpro-user] Restart CASSCF Calculation

Hello:

Gosh, I am frustrated.

Can someone point me to an example input (or give me pointers) on how to
perform a CASSCF calculation, save the orbitals in one job to a permanent
file and,then in a separate job, to use those orbitals as the starting
guess for a new CASSCF calculation with the same basis set but a NEW
geometry.

1) The first CASSCF job works perfectly.

2) The second job (input shown below) crashes.

***,New Molecule - Excited state
memory,128,m

print, basis,orbitals

FILE,1,./int/second.int,new
FILE,2,./wfu/second.wfu,new
FILE,3,./wfu/first.aux,old

BASIS=6-31G*

geomtyp=xyz
geometry={
...
...
...
}

{casscf
start,2140.3
 closed,5,5
    occ,11,10
     wf,30,1,0
 state,2; weight,0,1;
 orbprint,20
}
optg

And this is the error I get
