Orbital Occupation and Restarting OT calculations

Hi,

I think the problem is coming from the relax multiplicity keyword in your 
input - that only seems to make sense to me using extra MOs and not the OT 
optimizer as it requires having extra MOs it can put electrons into to vary 
the multiplicity.
