"cpsi data alloc: out of heap memory" error


Clicked A Few Times
I have found an example of the input file here: http://nwchemgit.github.io/Special_AWCforum/st/id593/SOLVED_PDOS_f_electron_state_... and tried to run it with NWChem

However, NWChem gives an error "cpsi_data_alloc: out of heap memory".

I have tried different options, e.g "memory total 8000 mb" or "stack 1300 mb heap 100 mb global 2600 mb noverify" but it always gives this error.

When I use "memory total 10000 mb" the program hangs up.

I run this on the mashine with 4 cores and 48 Gb RAM (Ubuntu 18.04).
What can be the problem?
