For cpi test w/1 process I typed password manually :-)

Yes, of course in both cases I see 2046260.
But "rsh <nodename> ulimit -l" says 859446.

>2. Can you run cpi as root?

YES! Under root mvapich-0.9.8 works OK, although I installed it under
not privelegged user (w/username I used for MPI tests)!

But the limits for this user are the same as for root, and I don't 
understand what is the reason and where is my error :-(
