Comment (by rhaas):

 I just tried it using simfactory on lonestar. I used
 {{{
 sim create-submit bns_all-tests --procs 1 --testsuite --configuration
 bns_all --walltime 0:20:0
 }}}
 which unfortunately then ran all tests on 1 process even the one
 (ML_BSSN_Test/ML_BSSN_NewRad) that requested 2 processes. I suspect this
 is due to simfactory not going through the test-suite mechanism and
 instead uses its own RunScript to start the run.

 The test still claimed everything worked though close inspection showed
 that it says "Success: 0 files identical" and also that in fact the files
 are not identical (ran a vimdiff). So Ian's comment points out a real
 issue.

 I have also tried the reverse and was offered to run a 1 processor test
 with 2 processes on my workstation:
 {{{
   Issuing mpirun -np 2
 /mnt/data/rhaas/postdoc/gr/Zelmani/exe/cactus_bns_all
 /mnt/data/rhaas/postdoc/gr/Zelmani/arrangements/EinsteinAnalysis/AHFinderDirect/test/checkpointML.par
 }}}

 Something is still odd.
