[Clas_offline] unresolved issue with user_ana and Centos62 batch farm

Dear Dennis and John,
we have managed to run the whole set of executables that are needed for 
our MC jobs (event generator, GSIM, GPP, user_ana) on the **interactive** 
Centos62 machine. Everything seems to be working fine and we are getting 
consistent results with what was obtained running the full simulation 
chain on Centos53.

However, there are problems when moving onto the batch farm. My 
student has met the same problem that was reported a week or so ago by 
Kijun Park (and Kijun has confirmed us that his problem has not been 
solved yet). The original email from Kijun is reported here. Did any of 
you have a chance to look into this?

It seems like user_ana crashes while the routine retcl_yield.F tries to 
read the tcl file. Why does this crash happen only when running on the 
batch farm and not on the interactive one? Is there any difference from 
ifarm1102 and the batch ones? I have no idea...

The line 100 of retcl_yield.F reads:

          read(*,13, end=999)cline
  13      format(a200)

My FORTRAN knowledge is a bit too stale lately to start looking into 
this in a useful way.
And it seems like Kijun and Nerses have already spent quite some time 
trying to look into this without finding a solution. If anyone has any 
idea, it would be great. It could be another step ahead towards 
actually managing to use the Centos62 farm (at today, used only at 
40%, while the "old" farm is overloaded...).

Thank you all and best regards,
Silvia
