  Sometimes, the console prints this out also:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what(): std::bad_alloc
Abort

  So, it seems like a memory leak? The ORCA output is only 420 KB...

Subject: vmd-l: VMD OrcaPlugin Bug

 I ran a QM (NOT QMMM) simulation on a small molecule, but tried to open the ORCA output in VMD 1.9.4a12 because I know this version of VMD can still open orbitals correctly. At least, I can open the ORACA orbitals from my QMMM simulations. But, with this QM simulation I get a segmentation fault and VMD crashes. I ran the debugger and then typed where. This is the result:

(gdb) where
#0 0x00007ffff05bd207 in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#1 0x00007ffff05be8f8 in abort () from /lib64/libc.so.6

#11 0x00000000008c8d71 in VMDApp::VMDupdate(int) ()
#12 0x000000000

I don't know what to make of this. I don't have the background to interpret the cause.
