Ah, thank you.  That works now.

I'll care about Darius' suggestion tomorrow.  Anyway, it's somehow 
likely that the missing "--ncpus" was actually the overall decisive 
mistake because my application is potentially short in memory, and 
thus having improper load balancing might cause one of the processes 
to crash.

I'll let you guys know whether this was the problem.

Thank you very much for now.

Best Regards,

Tim
