QMMD FSSH trajectory gets stuck during gradient calculation

Dear Developers,
I am performing a gas-phase SA3-CASSCF(10,10)/6-31G* trajectory propagated from S2 with a neutral derivative of Coumaric acid.
After several iterations, with no HOP from S2 to the other states, the trajectory gets stuck in ALASKA module, without throwing any
error. The calculation is still using 100% of the CPU, but it does not produce any output for hours/days, while it typically requires a few
minutes.

I attach input, and last part of the output, where it gets stuck. I am using OpenMolcas version 22.10.

This is the input:

>>> EXPORT MOLCAS_MOLDEN=ON

>>> COPY $InpDir/$Project.JobIph $WorkDir/JOBOLD
>>> COPY $InpDir/$Project.xyz $WorkDir

&Gateway
coord = $Project.xyz
group = nosym
basis = 6-31G*

>>> EXPORT CONT=1
>>> FOREACH ITER in (1 .. 400)

>>> COPY $WorkDir/$Project.xyz $InpDir/$Project.Final.xyz
>>> COPY $WorkDir/$Project.md.energies $InpDir/
>>> COPY $WorkDir/$Project.md.xyz $InpDir/

>>> EXPORT EST=00$CONT
>>> If ( -FILE $Project.$EST )
>>> COPY $WorkDir/$Project.$EST $InpDir
>>> EndIf

>>> EXPORT EST=0$CONT
>>> If ( -FILE $Project.$EST )
>>> COPY $WorkDir/$Project.$EST $InpDir
>>> EndIf

>>> EVAL CONT=$CONT+1

>>> end do

This is the output:
