[Wien] incorrect distribution over parallel nodes

[Igor Mazin]

Dear All

Has anybody experienced the following problem and is
there any way of fixing it?

I found that with a relatively large number of nodes
in simple parallelization sometimes the script
incorrectly distrubutes the k-points over the nodes,
which later results in a crash. Here is an example.
50 k-point were excuted on 25 machines. This is the
.machines file:
1:compute-3-35.local
1:compute-3-34.local
1:compute-3-33.local
1:compute-3-32.local
<skipped>
1:compute-3-11.local
1:compute-3-10.local

Now see the result of running the following command:
>foreach f ( `sed 's/1://' .machines` )
> echo $f
> ssh $f "ls -trs /scratch/mazin/RUN5*"
> echo ""
>end
