Let me see if I understand you situation. In an earlier email, you reported
essentially the same error, but with mpirun -np 2:

My suggestion was to run the test suite, since in that way we could
distinguish between an installation problem (in which case the test suite
would fail), and a problem with your particular inputs.

You say that "I ran the general tests", but (specifically) did you run the
tests with both "mpirun -np 2" and "mpirun -np 1"? Assuming that you did
that, we would need to provide a description of how you created the "yaytop"
and "redo" files that you are using as input; you might as well send the files
themselves as well (along with moldyin). That way we can actually try to
reproduce the error you are getting. As I said, I've never seen this
particular problem before.

...thanks...dac
