The current parallel molpro binaries are still built using GA with
TCGMSG, which is very portable, and the default connection in TCGMSG is
rsh. We are considering using GA with TCGMSG-MPI in future versions.

After discussion with Jan, he has found the problem lies in that the HPC
cluster has two kinds of networks, and is looking for a solution.
