Your MPI library makes assumptions about the MPI application that are
inappropriate. mdrun expects to be able to write to stdout and it works
like stdout.

Either set the MPI_UNBUFFERED_STDIO variable like it suggests (please talk
to your sysadmins and/or documentation for how to do this, I have no idea,
and little interest in SGI's MPI implementation that causes me as many
problems as all the other implementations put together :-)), or use any
other MPI library you have available.
