[Radiance-general] rpiece error

[Jack de Valpine]

Hey Rob,

Well it does seem a bit odd. I believe that rpiece defaults to -X = 4 
and -Y = 4, if nothing is specified on the command line.

It does look like too many copies are being forked though, thus all the 
bash shells getting spawned and the error message for fork indicating 
that no more resources are available.

Perhaps as one test it would be worth explicitly setting -X and -Y and 
seeing what happens? Is this a standard system you are running on or a 
cluster of some sort?

-Jack
