		                        Dear All,  
 
I am benchmarking different options for running some DFT claculations and having access to large memory machines my intention is t run some fully incore calculations. For the example benchmark I am using (a C60) molecule, no matter the basis set, converges nicely in a few iterations in direct mode but when run incore fails miserably to reach convergence. I attach the two input files below. Is it possible that the starting guess is somehow different for the two? Any insight will be grately appreciated. 
 
I am running branch 6.5 revision 26243 
 
Cheers, 
 
Cristián
