15-user Stata for Linux64 (network) perpetual license:
       Serial number:  81390516503
         Licensed to:  Columbia University Economics Department
                       New York

Notes:
      1.  (-m# option or -set memory-) 10.00 MB allocated to data
      2.  (-v# option or -set maxvar-) 5000 maximum variables
      3.  Command line editing enabled
----------------------
Stata is running on a cluster of nine Sun multi-Opteron boxes running
Scientific Linux 4.3. Normal /usr/local install. /use/local is local to
one of the nine boxes and is NFS-exported to the other 8.

Here is the error message:
-------------------------
Some other person or process is manipulating Stata's license file.
You must save your data and exit; no other commands are allowed.
-------------------------
It may not appear for days or weeks, and then seems to come in bunches.
Needless to say it is _very_ frustrating for users.

It is possible that that the error message only occurs on boxes with NFS
/usr/local, since running stata on the box hosting /usr/local is
discouraged. Stata does get run on that box from time to time, however.

There is virtually zero possibility that we have ever had 15
simultaneous instances of stata running.

There is one message in the list archive about this error, but no
resolution.

Thanks for any light anyone is able to shed.

Cheers,
 Pann
