[molpro-user] BAD TERMINATION RETURENED BY MOLPRO

[Grant Hill]

Dear Tanjin,

This is a rather generic error message, but I’ve seen similar when a node runs out of memory. It might be worth double checking how much memory you are asking for (remember that Molpro works with words rather than bytes, and that the memory requested is per-process), and if other memory hungry jobs were running on the node at the same time.

Best wishes,
Grant

And the output file of MOLPRO didn't show any clues of possible error, but just stopped refreshing. It seemed that the MOLPRO process was killed, but I haven't done anything to disrupt the computation.
