[Pw_forum] a strange behavior for QE-v4 compared with QE-v3

[lan haiping]

Dear Paolo,
thanks for explaination.
But this behavior  is really strange i have ever come to.
i have tried to rebuild the mpich and the QE, and nothing is
gained.   Another strange problem is  that the work i execute  parallelly
with QE-v4  sometimes come to idle without execuation or output
information.

is there any other suggestion to figure what the problem with it ?

thanks
