Re: [AMBER] Parallel test times

There is a known issue with the PIMD code where it will hang if you
try to use more processors than beads (most of the PIMD tests use 4
beads I think). This bug is currently being worked on.

If you don't need PIMD functionality and you want to test everything
else with >4 processors you could just comment those tests out of the
test Makefile for now. Everything else should be ok.
