[molpro-user] DF-HF memory problems

Hi all,

I'm currently having problems with the density fitted Hartree Fock 
routine. I've been performing hf calculations on increasingly large 
clusters of LiH and decided to use df-hf to see if it would speed this 
process up. however when I try and run df-hf it proceeds to grab all of 
the memory on the system (16Gb in this case) bringing it to a crawl.

This happens even when the system size is reduced (in the end I ran the 
input below and the problem still occurred).
