I fixed the testsuite yesterday, but once it actually ran, psi3 throws
segfaults on every sub-command and 80% of the tests abort. I poked at it
for a while, but I think this will take too much effort to fix as there
hasn't been any upstream involvement in almost 20 years.

So probably the best course of action would be to get psi3 removed, but
I'll sleep over it before I file that bug.
