No they don't. Closures should work just fine.

True, but that case should work.
cheers,

However, as far as I can see it, there is no parallel implementation for this, we've tried 2d ALUGRID, parallelised with the metagrid approach, but this does not scale beyond a few hundred processors as the entire grid is stored on each processor and my code runs out of memory.
