Jeff just left today for a 1-week vacation. However, this came up on the OMPI mailing list - turns out that some linux distro's automatically set LS_COLORS in your environment when running old versions of csh/tcsh via their default dot files, and it can cause problems with the script. So just ensuring it isn't set solves the problem.
