[AMBER] Error running large number of trajectories with multisander

I've been running a large number of (independent) QM/MM umbrella sampling
simulations using multisander. I haven't done exhaustive tests, but running
a small (12) or modestly large (108) number of jobs works just fine.
However, using a larger number of jobs (192) results in a few errors:

=== STDERR ===
out of dynamic memory in opal_show_help_yylex()

<MPI_ABORT message omitted for brevity>

[c314-113.ls4.tacc.utexas.edu:11115] 4 more processes have sent help
message help-mpi-api.txt / mpi-abort
[c314-113.ls4.tacc.utexas.edu:11115] Set MCA parameter
"orte_base_help_aggregate" to 0 to see all help / error messages
======

=== STDOUT ===
Error in group input::atommask.f::eval
stack allocation error
======

A typical groupfile entry looks like:

-O -i r0/HEEP_QMMM_US_3.inp -o r0/HEEP_QMMM_US_3.out -p ../input/HEEP.parm7
-c r0/HEEP_QMMM_US_2.rst7 -r r0/HEEP_QMMM_US_3.rst7 -x r0/HEEP_QMMM_US_3.nc
-ref ../equilibration/minimize0.rst7

The only thing here that seems not so smart is that ALL of the trajectories
use the same file for the reference coordinates. Does that sound like it
could be a problem? Does that make any sense in giving rise to the errors
here? Other ideas?

Thanks,
Brian
