Hi CCLers
  Does anybody of you know, why there are more than 3N-6 nonzero
 eigenvalues of the hessian? I am especially interested in the question,
 whether this error is due to the errors made by differentiation or
 whether they are due to an error within the method itself. I usually get
 only 3 zero eigenvalues. No matter if the hessian is calculated on a
 stationary point or not.
 Thanks for your help
