`kill -l' lists all the signals.

signal 25 = SIGXFSZ

Google search "SIGXFSZ" I'm feeling lucky = http://www.wlug.org.nz/SIGXFSZ

"
This signal is raised when the maximum file size is
exceeded, as configured by ulimit(1). The default action of this signal is to
terminate the program and dump core.
"

Check to see what files your program has written, how large your limits
are (`limit' in csh, `ulimit -a' in bash). It could also be a filesize
limitation in your filesystem.

This is not a general purpose linux help list. Try to take some time to
solve generic problems that have nothing to do with LAM before mailing
this list.

As far as more processes than processors, this is probably the result of
an improper mpirun command (with -np #, where # is > than the number of
physical processors). `man mpirun' should help clear your confusion.
