I am running on a linux cluster, using an in house rh 7.3 kernel with elan
quadrics switches. So I don't think the solaris info applies. It may be
just to big for psfgen to do correctly.
I have also had several elan buffering errors which I worked around by
increasing the mpi buffers from 200MB to 400MB
