Hi

I have problems using MPICH 1.1.1 on SGI and MPI running under MPT
1.2.1.0 on array services on SGI. In both cases the program goes for a
while and then 
in MPICH I get:

Error in MPI object : Pointer conversions exhausted
Too many MPI objects may have been passed to/from Fortran
without being freed
[1]  Aborting program !

and in MPT I get:

Insufficient request entries.
Please use MPI_REQUEST_MAX to increase your allocation.
The current value of MPI_REQUEST_MAX is 16384

whenever I increment the MPI_REQUEST_MAX environment variable the error
messages 
are just shifted to a slightly later time but still arise, so there must
be 
something fundamentally wrong.

Thanx for any help
