Thank you David.

I could run 4096wat properly by sander compiled with MPICH compiled with
gcc/g77.
But the speed is slow.

And I could run 4096wat by sander compiled with MPICH compiled with PGI
compiler on ONE CPU.
My Machine has two cpu.So, my MACHINE is SMP Linux.

And, I will try the below program and "export P4_GLOBALMEMSIZE=1000000".
Thank you.
