: The only thing I find strange is that BVAT correlation energy contributions are not zero, but I think they should be exactly zero as they are double excitations from the active space. As the active space comprises just one electron, they should be zero.

: Am I wrong in this point?? Is this a bug??

Dear JLP, I have run this for H, Li, and Na, using a number of Molcas installations
(7.3.436, 7.2.041, and some old 6.4 ones,) but they all come out O.K.
Your bug may occur in some particular version/platform, or it may occur only for
some particular settings of options or inputs. Best is if you make a bug report
including an input and output.
