Multiple chunks on one process

[r-barnes]

I build a DArray as follows:

@everywhere using DistributedArrays
r1  = @spawnat 2 zeros(4,4) 
r2  = @spawnat 2 zeros(4,4) 
r3  = @spawnat 2 rand(4,4)
r4  = @spawnat 3 rand(4,4)
ras = [r1 r2; r3 r4]
D   = DArray(ras)

My expectation is that the output should have two 4x4 blocks of zeros and two 4x4 blocks of random numbers. Instead, I get three blocks of zeros and one block of random numbers:

Jup that is a bug in the constructor: https://github.com/JuliaParallel/DistributedArrays.jl/blob/e6915d28b59f564043597985bd5af1896f3e380b/src/darray.jl#L110

localpartindex(pids) assumes that there is only one chunk on a process and will return the first one.
