This is not a problem...some test cases are small ones and cannot run on
large numbers of processors. As Bob Duke pointed out, there are other tests
available that will work on large numbers of processors.

Sounds like a bad idea to me, and I am not surprised that you found problems
with this. I'm not sure how a program could exit gracefully from this
situation. For now, avoid requesting more processes than are specified
with mpdboot.
