BSSE issue: atoms with ecp basis

This seems to be a bug. I think you should be fine if you remove the line "bqGd library Gd "CRENBL ECP"" from the ecp block.

Hi,

I'm trying to run dft with BSSE correction.
Firstly, I wanted to test a simple system of Gd3+ and H2O interactions.
I seemed fine for the first four dft runs
such as [Gd3+--H2O], [G3+], [Gd3+--ghost H2O] and [H2O].

However, once it got to the point of calculation between H2O and ghost Gd3+,
it died with an error message of
"dft_inpana: negative no. of electrons ? -18".

I doubt that there are some problems in calculation with atoms with "ecp" basis,
since similar calculation with neutral or cationic Na has no problem in BSSE.

It would be very appreciated if someone helped this problem.
