[FLASH-USERS] changing maxblocks

[Sean Couch]

Hi Jon,

Nope, MAXBLOCKS is set only at setup/compile time.  This is because many static arrays are declared based on MAXBLOCKS.

Another option is to use more MPI processes.  Strictly speaking, MAXBLOCKS is the maximum number of blocks per MPI rank.

I ran into, what appears to be, a common problem, which is an MPI_Abort caused by a PARAMESH ERROR with the message (in amr.log): New block location exceeds MAXBLOCKS limit
