Thanks for your resply. My problem was actually caused by having include mpif.h in the code still, rather than use mpi. But the info about NSLOTS, etc is good to know.
Cheers, Jason P.S. I had originally used $MPI_DIR in mpirun call, but changed it to the explicit directory in the course of trying fix the problem.
