it is waiting another processor, or group of processors. Typically this happens because one processor or groups of processors has either crashed or gone in a different direction wrt to the others. It helps if you let all processors print to file, flushing the output as frequently as you can (otherwise the interesting part will stay in the buffer) Paolo -- Paolo Giannozzi e-mail: giannozz at nest.sns.it Scuola Normale Superiore Phone: +39/050-509876, Fax:-563513 Piazza dei Cavalieri 7 I-56126 Pisa, Italy
