Dear Anirban,

great, glad this is resolved.

Besides since the "bad" energy is much lower, that would imply that both Gaussian and Gamess get the wrong state, which doesn't seem too likely.  So it seems that maybe the changes in the radial grids is the answer.  Do you know if there is a way to reproduce the new grids with 2010.1 ?
