i'm not sure whether it's related, but i've had a similar issue with a 
testsuite of a 
local thorn i have, which was passing just fine with 1 proc but not with 2 
procs (and 
similar errors). the root of the problem turned out to be that on this 
particular machine, 
for whatever reason, when running the parfile with 2 procs the output was 
"doubled". as if 
each processor was writing the same thing on the same file. the output itself 
was the 
same, but the files that were written were obviously not. so diff was 
signalling 
differences in the files where in fact the numbers themselves were (nearly) the 
same. 
could you be seeing something like this as well?

cheers,
Miguel
