[CPMD-list] "MEMORY| ALLOCATION FAILED" error message

[Robert Williams]

Dear Bayu,

There is a "bug" in at least some kernel versions greater than
2.6.5 that appear to be related to this problem.
I ran quite a few tests and found that a pristine
(non-fedora) 2.6.5 kernel will solve this memory allocation error.
I'm not sure about the latest kernels.  I haven't tested 2.6.10 yet.
I've attached my .config file.
