[molpro-user] MCSCF Energy Varies When Printing CI Coefficient from natorb

Dear Mingyang,

this is a known problem, reported in the bug list some time ago (but 2990), and we are sorry that you've hit it.

Molpro's MCSCF performs one additional internal CI when you request to print CI coefficients.
But this additional internal CI sometimes converges to a wrong state.

For the time being, perhaps you could try to use a larger pspace threshold; for instance

>> {multi;occ,9,3,3,2,6,3,3,1;closed,3,2,2,0,3,1,1,0;pspace,1.0;wf,51,8,7;natorb,ci,print}

I have implemented some codes for this problem in developer's version (but only with config card & CASSCF so far);
I hope that we could include them it in the next release, but not sure.

Best wishes,
Toru
