PM6 - MTD - Matrix diagonalization failed

Hi,
trying to do a PM6-metadynamics study with a transition-metal
complexes I've obtained a lot of times the following error, saying
that the "Matrix diagonalization failed".
With the same starting point I obtain this error at the same timestep
each time.

Below the output error, I put the PM6 DFT input shell I'm using.

Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.
Francesco


p.s.
I've just recompiled the sopt executable, but I've obtained the same
error also with a previous popt executable (21-07-2008)
