 I think, there is something wrong with your geometry input. Why do you
have so many different species? It seems, that each H and C atom appears
being an independent specie. It is not a prolblem per se (although quite
strange), only the output routine for the genfile assumes that max. 99
different species are present. Therefore, with more than 100 different
species, it messes up things.

 Actually, if you run the code for a carbon-hydrogen molecule, you
should have only two species: C and H and having type indexes 1 and 2
further down in the gen file. See

some info on the geometry input.

 Cheers,
