[gmx-users] gmxtest failure on a phenom machine

[Giovanni Settanni]

I am testing gromacs 3.3 with lam 7.1.1 on a phenom box with fedora core 8
(old code version of gromacs and lam needed to preserve homogeneity with the
other older opteron boxes in a pc cluster).  gmxtest (for 3.3.2) passes
almost all tests when run on 1 to 3 cores (with -np 1-3 option) (failure on
dec-wat and fe_test occurs always, even on the older boxes of the cluster).
When I try to run the test using all 4 cores ( -np 4 option) a new failure
appears on  simple/rb1. Here is part of the checkpot.out

Any idea about the origin of this error?
Thanks
