Francesco,
Based on the information provide this is a Gaussian error rather than an error with ffTK. I quickly Googled around and found this:
http://www.ace-net.ca/wiki/Gaussian_Error_Messages#Operation_on_file_out_of_range
which suggests that the error has something to do with reading/writing to a file.
Regards,
Christopher Mayne

Subject: ffTK problems with Gaussian OPT
To: VMD Mailing List <vmd-l_at_ks.uiuc.edu<mailto:vmd-l_at_ks.uiuc.edu>>
Hello:
I generated the Gaussian .gau input with ffTK (vmd 1.9.2 on GNU Linux amd64 jessy) and I am getting problems in optimizing the structure (heavy atoms for HR X-ray diffraction, H-atoms added with CHIMERA, 52 total atoms).
First, the Gaussian optimization crashed because of "The wavefunction has an RHF -> UHF instability".
On adding "Stable=Opt" to the to the route section, segmentation violation occurred.
On replacing "Opt=(Redundant)" with "Stable=Opt" in the route section, the log file tells
Eigenvectors of the stability matrix:
Eigenvector 1: Triplet-A Eigenvalue=-0.0264435 <S**2>=2.000
106 ->121 -0.18719
110 ->121 0.18052
110 ->122 0.34361
113 ->121 0.23785
114 ->121 0.13098
117 ->121 -0.18294
117 ->122 0.23046

I know what Gaussian says about the last message above. However, the wavefunction instability is not mentioned by Gaussian in that context.
--------------------------
I have been working on a full node, 16 cores, 120GB, and there is no problem of disk space, either for final files or scratch.
I suspect that the RHF->UHF message originated from misinterpreting the singlet (conjugated, charge -3) as a triplet.
thanks for advice
