[Wien] OMP abort: stack overflow detected

[Mahmoud Payami]

Dears Laurence, Kevin, Steven, Torsten, 

Thanking all of you.
I found the solution for this problem:
In RedHat 10 Fedora Core II, there exists a new feature: Kernel Tuning. Going inside and checking the "Overcommit Memory" fixes the problem.
This feature is explained below:
--------------------------
Startup-> System Tools-> Kernel Tuning->Virtual Memory->Swapping:

Overcommit Memory:
 The following algorithm is used to decide if there's enough memory: if this option is checked, then there's always enough memory. This is a useful feature, since programs often malloc() huge amounts of memory 'just in case', while they only use a small part of it. Leaving this option unchecked will lead to the failure of such a huge malloc(), when in fact the system has enough memory for the program to run.

 On the other hand, enabling this feature can cause you to run out of memory and thrash the system to death, so large and/or important servers will want to set this disabled.

  Dear Wien Users,

  I used ifort8+gcc+mkl70 with RH_10 to compile the new version Wien2k_04.8 on P4, 3.2GHz with 1GB RAM. Compilation was OK. 
  Using the default values for NMATMAX (5000) and NUME (1000), I encountered the "stack overflow" problem for the TiC example.
  However, when I decreased them (for all programs) to 2000 and 500, respectively, the TiC example was successfully performed.
  So, in the new version the "mixer" problem  I had before is fixed. But for parallel TiC, I get the following message complaining for stack and ifcor_meesage_cat:

  I do not know how can I fix it.

  Any suggestions is highly appreciated.
