Hello,

The problem is that parallel_run is still broken under MacOSX (see 
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13158). For some 
applications, such as Monte-Carlo estimations, this is not a big 
problem, since you just have to submit more tasks that expected. But for 
other tasks, such as partionning a big domain for independant 
computations (e.g. computing the Mandelbrot Set), this prohibits its 
usage. Under Linux, I have no problem using simultaneously 40 cores.
