Hi,

i'm getting the following error with NWchem 6.0 and http://nwchemgit.github.io/images/Nwchem-src-2011-Oct-25.tar.gz
(installed from RPMS http://nwchemgit.github.io/Special_AWCforum/st/id262/RPMS_of_NWchem.html on CentOS 5 x86_64):
....
127:Segmentation Violation error, status=: 11

Problem looks similar to:

aug-cc-pvtz runs fine on 4 cores.

The following does not fix the problem with aug-cc-pvqz (tried with NWchem 6.0 on 4 cores):
0. running http://nwchemgit.github.io/images/Nwchem-6.0-binary-redhat-5-5-gcc-4-1-2.tgz in serial on a system with 24GB memory with "memory total 22000 Mb noverify"
1. using plain geometry (instead of geometry noautoz noautosym)
2. grid medium + removed direct and noio keywords
3. basis cartesian
