Issue with running many MACS simulations simultaneously

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run many MAC simulations simultaneously (I used sge grid to submit many jobs)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The output of MACs is identical for different runs even when run under 
different demographic parameters.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Most current version. Linux 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5_lustre.1.8.4 x86_64

Please provide any additional information below.
My best guess is that MACs is confusing output files from different runs (the 
output files start with haplo and tree).

Your guess is correct. The best workaround on a batch environment is to create 
a directory for each replicate that the executable can run in. Don't forget to 
use the -s random seed parameter as appropriate.
