Dear Wien2k community,

   I would like to thank so many hints !
   The problem is solved ! The solution was one suggested by Lyudmila
Dobysheva : reboot the nodes. We will never know the origin of the problem,
but, honestly, I do not care !

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
- *Hamlet* (1.5.167-8), Hamlet to Horatio
                         Shakespeare

   I would like to thank you all again.
   All the best,
             Luis
