Strange behavior running parallel

Hello, I'm experienceing the stange issue that I'm not sure it's related to MPI, SGE scheduler or NWChem itself.
When running with 1, 2, 4 or 8 procs on a single node, it runs fine. But when I run with 6 or 12 procs, it failed with the error message below. And for certain input files, I get the same errors when running with a particular number of procs. Can some one explain this? And point me to a direction to troubleshoot this please.
symmetry adapt = T

Here is snippet from the output

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 1 in communicator MPI COMMUNICATOR 4 DUP FROM 0
with errorcode 0.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.
