That is good to know.

With Firefly 8, DLCs are turned on by default if one
specifies nonzero nzvar but does not provide any $zmat
input. To disable DLCs one either need to specify nzvar=0
(this is the default setting), or to provide an alternative
z-matrix setting nzvar to valid value and either providing
$zmat input or specifying coordinates using coord=zmat style
of $data group.

Most likely, this behavior was the origin of the confusion.

Kind regards,
