Hi,

Whenever I launch more than 400 processes I get the following error.  But for less than 400 process every thing goes perfectly fine. 
 
I am running my code on two machines: hesh and Ubuntu  (from which I am launching the jobs)

root@ubuntu:/home# mpiexec -f hosts.cfg -n 500 ./hello

Also some I time I got the following error:

Also I raised the open file limit on both the PCs by using ulimit -n 2048. But still the same result. 
 The code is the simple one:

/* C Example */
#include <mpi.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
  int rank, size;
  int buffer_length = MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME;
  char hostname[buffer_length];

  MPI_Init (&argc, &argv);      /* starts MPI */
  MPI_Comm_rank (MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);        /* get current process id */
  MPI_Comm_size (MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);        /* get number of processes */

  MPI_Get_processor_name(hostname, &buffer_length); /* get hostname */

  printf( "Hello world from process %d running on %s of %d\n", rank, hostname, size );
  MPI_Finalize();
  return 0;
}

For 10000 process the program is unresponsive and I have to close the terminal to exit.t 
How do i solve this issue?
