Hello there,

Is this an other bug for the sh/bash shell for  linux?

I have a problem with a script (#!/bin/sh....) that invokes an mpi
program several times, each time increasing the number of nodes it uses.
For the first 5 nodes it is working fine, then for the sixth one seems
to run ok but the mpi program almost terminates but does not return, so
the script hangs.

Running the test manually, using csh, it seems to work fine for 6, 7, 8
nodes.
