Problems with tcl scripts for REMD simulation

Dear NAMD experts,

I am trying to set up REMD simulation with the tcl scripts come with NAMD2.7b2. I am able to run REMD simulation using the input files in the example directory with 8 CPU cores in the PBS queue. However, when I run 16 replicas (1 replica/core), the PBS job seems to be running but no outputs are generated except the log files and nrc files. After the PBS job finishes, I get the following error message in every log files:

FATAL ERROR: disconnect server
    while executing
"error "disconnect server""
    ("while" body line 9)
    invoked from within
"while { 1 } {
        while [catch {gets $server_channel cmd} rval] {
puts $errorCode
          if {![string match "POSIX EINTR*" $errorCode]} {
     ..."
    (file "fold_alanin.job0.0.log.nrc" line 11)
[0] Stack Traceback:

  [6] _ZNSt8ios_base4InitD1Ev+0x52 [0x508ada]

Could some one help me figure out what the problem could be? Thanks! Please let me know if I didn't provide enough information for troubleshooting.

Best,
Wei
