		                        Hi, 
 
I'm trying to restart a TDDFT calculation in NWChem 6.1 as I believe that should be now possible. To do so I have modified my input file to: 
 
restart min 
basis 
C library 6-31G** 
H library 6-31G** 
 
end 
dft 
xc xcamb88 1.00 lyp 0.81 vwn_5 0.19 hfexch 1.00 
cam 0.33 cam_alpha 0.19 cam_beta 0.46 
direct 
iterations 100 
end 
TDDFT 
CIS 
NROOTS 6 
NOTRIPLET 
 
END 
TASK TDDFT ENERGY 
 
When I run this input file in the directory where there also the files from the previous run of the same TDDFT calculation that ran out of time then NWChem starts, proceeds to the TDDFT part of the code and starts the iterative procedure but then crashes with an error message: 
 
 Entering Davidson iterations

For more information see the NWChem manual at  
bgj_get_scf_dens movecs output =  
./min.movecs              
 
 
Now I have two questions: 
 
1) What could cause this crash and is it in anyway related to me trying to do a restart? 
 
and  
 
2) If this is a restart and in the previous job it had already found 4 converged vectors why does it start again with 0 converged vectors and stays there until it crashes. 
 
Any suggestions would be more than welcome. 
 
Thanks in advance, 
 
Martijn
