Computing vibration frequencies while working in sub-symmetry

Dear Molcas team and Molcas users,

Is it possible to calculate vibration frequencies when working in sub-symmetry? I do not understand the following message:

****************************************
* WARNING!!
* Elements in the E^[2] matrix small!!
* The calculation might diverge.
*
* Check your active space!!!!
*
* Make sure degenerate orbitals do not
* belong to different spaces.
* Note that no LR code can handle
* 2.0d0 occupancy in active orbitals!!
****************************************

As I get this when I calculate the vibration frequencies of ML6 in a D2h (sub-)symmetry (active space = d-orbitals), but not when I compute such frequencies for -for instance- benzene in a Cs (sub-)symmetry (active space = pi-system)... (degenerate orbitals in different symmetries, 2.0d0 occupancy of some orbitals, etc. in both cases)

Thank you in advance,

Regards,

Julien.
