Gets Around
The calculation completes with the new code. The new code produces the same total shielding tensor as in the old code that generated the QA output, but the paramagnetic and diamagnetic tensors are different. I don't know if the change represents an improvement or a regression.

Old output, from QA/tests/benzene_nics/benzene_nics.out:
