Of course you're right but I can't upgrade to 2.1.9 at the moment
(the upgrade is planned at the end of November).

The strange thing is that we are running torque-2.1.6 on our
cluster since January 2007 and it was working until the end
of September (when the problem has begun).

On July we upgrade the SLES10 kernel from 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp
to 2.6.16.27-0.9-smp.
Can the problem be related to this upgrade?

Thanks
Ale
