 Dear Roger,
This sounds very much like the problem we
 recently encountered with Gaussian when we tried
 to run it on our dual opteron system running SUSE
 9.3. Most of the time jobs making use of two
 processors crashed. The people at Gaussian
 suggested  that this might be caused by a bug in
 the older LINUX kernels that caused a race
 condition. We recently updated our kernel
 to  version 2.6.16. And indeed the problems have disappeared.
