txs error called

I am attempting to run a geometry optimization on a large system of 170 Au atoms using an ECP. I have recently compiled nwchem, and all works fine when optimizing the geometries of small molecules. When I attempt to run the geometry optimization of this large gold system, however, I get the following error:

What is the source of this error?

Any advice on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

You need to change the mxsh parameter in the file (and then re-compile)

$NWCHEM_TOP/src/NWints/texas_face.F

Line 521 needs to be changed from

parameter(mxsh= 190 000)
to

parameter(mxsh= 300 000)
