I have a similar problem.  When I spawn processes, I usually get
multiple processes on one host while other hosts do nothing.  It
also hangs about half of the time.  I am in the habit of running
my program and hitting ^C over and over again until I finally get
one process per processor.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.
