Fatal error in DOVESHIFTX, error code =        -1

immediately after the printout of the " DENSITY MATRIX OVER CANONICALIZED ACTIVE MO-S". The next part of the output should be
         -----------------------
         -MCHF- NATURAL ORBITALS
         -----------------------
...

The error is reproducible with this particular input. However, I have successfully run two other rather similar jobs (only singlets instead of triplets, and different ISTSYM). Here is the command line part of the input:

This is what Firefly says about the Computer:

Intel Core2/ Win32  Firefly version running under Windows NT
Running on Intel CPU:  Brand ID  0, Family  6, Model  23, Stepping 10
CPU Brand String    :  Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q9400  @ 2.66GHz
CPU Features        :  x87 FPU, CMOV, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, MWAIT, EM64T

Operating System successfully passed SSE support test.

and somewhat later:

This job is executing on     1 unique host(s)
Minimum number of processes per host is:    1
Maximum number of processes per host is:    1

On master's host, detected    4 CPU core(s) in aggregate

DGEMM will use                                   2 threads.

Matrix diagonalization and inversion will use    2 threads.

SMP/multicore aware parts of program will use    4 threads.

Creating thread pool to serve up to            128 threads.

Activating Call64 option.

The two successful runs used the same computer. I am not so familiar with the MKLNP and NP parameters, I usually use parallel run with P2P, but I wanted to try XMCQDPT, and that does apparently not run parallel.
