CCSD correlation energy infinite (Molpro works).

When running NWChem6.0 (compiled from source) with the following input file I get infinite CCSD correlation energies (NaNs) from the very first iteration. The RHF energy is -78.064796148475 hartree.

When I run the same job using Molpro2010.2 I get
RHF energy = -78.064796230852 hartree, and
CCSD total energy = -78.394519990527 hartree

The only unusual thing about this test as far as I can tell is that it has a user-defined basis set (taken from a paper by B. Roos) with some rather diffuse functions.
