[molpro-user] Molpro vs Qchem MP2 single point energy calculation of ethylene differences

Hello all. I'm a new user of Molpro and was running a few little tests on
my newly installed 2012.1.9 version of Molpro :D. However, I'm getting some
weird results.

So, I'm comparing an MP2 single point energy calculation of ethylene
between Molpro and Qchem.

I get the same HF energy, but differing MP2 energies at the same geometry.

Molpro: HF= -78.06321916, MP2= -78.39895488
Qchem: HF= -78.0632189754, MP2= -78.4294907701

I looked over my inputs (provided below) and they seem fine…any
suggestions?

I'll provide outputs if people want them.
