(I think we've addressed this in other messages already.)

Obviously, I re-worked the MPI code in inc.c while adding --node, and I
never tested the effect of my changes on MPI (we didn't intend to use
MPI in the contest, and I think we didn't use it). Someone reported
that MPI worked for him anyway (after the contest), but that might not
be reliable info.

I agree, and in fact they are unified in j5c4's inc.c. So I don't know
why MPI broke for you.
