it is waiting another processor, or group of processors. Typically
this happens because one processor or groups of processors has
either crashed or gone in a different direction wrt to the others.
It helps if you let all processors print to file, flushing the output 
as frequently as you can (otherwise the interesting part will stay
in the buffer)
