I'm afraid the rank-file mapper in 1.3.3 has several known problems
that have been described on the list by users. We hopefully have those
fixed in the upcoming 1.3.4 release.

Hi,
I am trying to use the rankmap to bind a 4-proc mpi job to one
socket of a two-socket, 8 core machine. However I'm getting a
strange error.

From looking at the code in rmaps_rank_file.c it seems the error
occurs when the node-gathering code wraps twice around the hostlist.
However I dont see why that is happening.
If I specify 8 slots in the rankmap, I see a different error: Error,
invalid rank (4) in the rankfile (./rankmap.1)
Thanks,
Federico
