Guys,

Thanks for all the help. I would need to ask permission from the user before
I can
post the input file. He is gone for the day already though. It is also very
large and we should
try to reproduce the error with something much smaller. At the moment, 4096
& 8192 water
benchmark input file (from the CP2K test cases) suffers from the same error
message.
It has nothing to do with periodicity.

Have others been able to run the 4096 & 8192 water benchmarks with
distribution_type distributed?
If so, then maybe it is something that is computer specific. A much smaller
test case, of 3x3 water
molecules ran without a problem. I've also run some other calculations in
the 2000 atom range.

To answer Matt's, questions I don't know. I will run again to find out.

Teo, I will work on the replicated case and get back to you.
