Dear Molpro developers,
I am running a calculation to model the potential energy surface associated with the double-core-hole state of H2O^2+, with a double hole in the 1.1 molecular orbital.
When I run the calculation, it unexpectedly crashes with no explanation, except for the message below:

Do you know the reason for this error message and the way to fix it? The complete output file is attached to this email.
Thanks for your time.
Yours, faithfully,

Dear Giorgio,

perhaps try using the original optimization routines in multi,  e.g.,    multi,wmk_old .  Sometimes this helps.

best regards,

Thanks for this report.  It has revealed an edge-case bug - an array that is normally of finite length, but with your particular input is zero-sized, and the code could not cope with it. The problem has now been fixed, and the fix will appear in the next release.
