Hi, there,

I submit several subjects to FS piepline using our Sun Grid Engine System, all of them failed at the same place which is
the  mris_volmask step in autorecon3. It gave me an error like:

ERROR: In /usr/pubsw/packages/vtk/5.2.0/src/Common/vtkMultiThreader.cxx, line 372
vtkMultiThreader (0x33d05a90): Unable to create a thread.  pthread_create() returned 12

I knew this error is caused by some VTK function FS used to allocate memory. So what I did is  I use recon-all -s subjectid , and the process will finish.

What happen is the same subjects have been run on our local machines, and finished without any problems.
However,  when I looked at the wmparc.stats file of the same subject, the results are quite different.

For example, 
ctx_isthumus cingluate and ctx_posterior singulate value are not zeros for my local machine results,  while
ctx_isthumus cingluate and ctx_posterior singulate value are zeros        for my SGE machine results.

And this problem have to all these subjects.  Another funny thing is if I look at the ?h.aparc.stats file, the results from SGE and local machine are the same, while
when I load the results to tksurfer, they are quite different.

So my question is:

Since I need use SGE to run multiple subjects again, next time when I met this mris_volmask ERROR, I need rerun the process from the beginning, not from autorecon3, right?

Thank!
Guang
