Do you have a case with inversion symmetry ? If yes, you are right, all
states should be at least double degenerate.

If you have inversion, do not use the RLOs (case.inso). I have some
indication that there might be a bug (for more than one atom?) in the RLO
part, but we are not sure and so far I did not find time to fully debug
this problem.
