Dear Dr. Edoapra
 When basis spherical is added to the input, the linear dependency  problem 
has been improved.

WARNING : Found 17 linear dependencies
S eigenvalue threshold:     1.00000E-05
Smallest S eigenvalue : 1.06803E-07
Largest S eigenvalue : 8.13807E-06


!! The overlap matrix has  17 vectors deemed linearly dependent with
eigenvalues:
1.07D-07 1.45D-07 1.80D-07 3.66D-07 3.71D-07 4.23D-07 4.55D-07 4.76D-07
5.06D-07 6.62D-07 1.45D-06 1.78D-06 1.84D-06 6.05D-06 6.17D-06 7.01D-06
8.14D-06

The warning will disappear if a smaller basis set is also utilized, but no tendency will be discovered toward the necessary convergency.
