Hi,

   I'm trying to run an application that uses avifile not in a
   single computer but in a beowulf (a lot of PCs connected by an
   point-to-point net).

   All the computers share the same home dirs, and nothing else. The
   executable is in my homedir (i.e. the script and the executable in
   the .lib/ directory), and it is to be run in all computers.

   When I put my application to run, all the computers load the same
   program. I don't know why, but a lot of copies of this program are
   created in my homedir's .lib/ directory
   (<number>-lt-<program-name>) and during this fase three things
   happen:
   1. "input/output error",
   2. "Stale NFS file handle".  
   3. it works properly (4 times in +- 40 tries).

   I think it crashes due to the copies that are created before it
   starts and this gives too much work to one single node (the
   homedir's owner) but I don't know how to fix it.

   I'm not sure if this is the proper place to put this question (I'm
   not having problems with avifile at all, but with the execution
   environment), but if you know the proper place, please tell me (and
   if someone have some idea of what I should do, please tell me too
   :o)

Bruno
