Dear Molpro users,

        I have the following problem:
        I'm running an ACPF calculation on HF molecule
        close to dissociation:
        namely i'm computing 4 points. Here the distancies
        and ACPF energies:

   VRDFH        EACPF
    4.95   -100.0478137
    5.00   -100.0478125
    5.05   -100.0477949
    5.10   -100.0477939

        as you can see from 5.00 to 5.05 there is a "jump"

        After a while I realised that the main difference
        in the two points (5.00/5.05) is the number of
        contractions in the MRCI/ACPF part.

        So for the 5.00 geometry I have:

 Total number of contracted configurations:         2588
 Total number of uncontracted configurations:       8642

        While for 5.05 geometry:

 Total number of contracted configurations:         2368
 Total number of uncontracted configurations:       8642


        For reference here is my current test input:

I've been playing around with all the cutoff/thresholds I know
about but with no results!

Does anybody knows how I can solve this problem?

The CAS before the MRCI looks identical (beside the small
changes due to the different geometries).

Which other parameters the number of contractions can
depend on?

(I'm using molpro 2002.3 and 2002.6)

        Thanks in advance
        Fabio
