I'm leaning towards fixing it - it came due to discussions on how to handle 
hostfile when there is an allocation. For now, though, that should work.

Well that seems strange! Can you run 1.6.1 with the following on the mpirun cmd 
line:

-mca ras_gridengine_debug 1 -mca ras_gridengine_verbose 10 -mca 
ras_base_verbose 10

My guess is that something in the pe_hostfile syntax may have changed and we 
didn't pick up on it.
