[molpro-user] Problems with Biorth run in parallel

Dear Laura and Alexander,

I have the same troubles with the biorth calculations (I already post a message on the mailing list a few months ago).

The problem occurs in both sequential and parallel jobs using molpro2012 level 27 compiled with ifort.
Input below gives the following error : Received signal 11 Segmentation violation

***,H2O
gthresh,energy=1.d-8
r=0.957,angstrom,theta=104.6,degree;
geometry={O;              
         H1,O,r;
         H2,O,r,H1,theta}
{hf;wf,10,1;}
{multi;occ,4,1,2;closed,2;wf,9,2,1}
{ci;occ,4,1,2;closed,2;core,1;wf,9,2,1;save,7300.1}
{multi;occ,4,1,2;closed,2;wf,9,1,1}
{ci;occ,4,1,2;closed,2;core,1;wf,9,1,1;save,7100.1}
{ci;trans,7300.1,7100.1,biorth}

I tried with molpro2010 and it works fine (compiler is not ifort but pgf90)

Thanks in advance for any help

Jacky
