Hi FreeSurfer Developers,

I'm running freesurfer from the HCP pipeline developed by the Washington 
University in St. Louis. It ran just fine on our university's cluster, but when 
I migrated the pipeline to Exacloud, Intel's HPC cluster, the recon-all command 
began randomly failing. Occasionally it will work on the first try, but more 
often than not the same command has to be re-run upwards of 30 times before it 
will succeed. I've provided the recon-all command and the relevant section of 
the log file including the error here (attached is the full recon-all.log file):

recon-all -i ./T1w/T1w_acpc_dc_restore_1mm.nii.gz -subjid ${SUBJECT_ID} -sd . 
/T1w -motioncor -tal    airach -nuintensitycor -normalization

It doesn't appear than any similar errors have been reported on freesurfer. Our 
current work-around is to simply re-run the job on different nodes until it 
works, but this is not a sustainable long-term solution. Any guidance on 
troubleshooting this error would be greatly appreciated.
