Re^4: excited state geometry opt and intersystem crossing

My related question is:
I am running geometry optimization (thanks to Alex for input) as:

$contrl scftyp=rhf icut=10 inttyp=hondo CITYP=CIS runtyp=OPTIMIZE nzvar=1 $end
$CIS nstate=4 istate=-1 MULT=1 icutcp=12 ndavit=100 MXVEC=100 $end

the problem is that at some point I run into SCF problems with, for example

SOSCF IS SCALING ROTATION ANGLE MATRIX, DXMAX=    3.294684

and I run out of SCF cycles. I could increase number of cycles but I am not sure if that would solve the problem as SCF convergence becomes very slow. I attached the problematic output, would appreciate comments
