l_XTRIPV refers to a local array that needs (NNM^3)*(NGRID^3) doubles, where NNM refers to the number of normal modes (i.e. 3*(number of atoms)-6 for non-linear molecule) and NGRID refers to the number of grid points along each normal mode (default 16). Based on the size of your molecule, it would appear that you need a little over 2 GB of stack memory for that array. With a memory specification of

memory stack 2600 heap 200 global 800 mb

I was able to get the VSCF calculation running on the input you provided above.

Best,
