  well, the only problem is if you have more cells than maxcpu,
which doesn't make that much sense. Since we are testing against 
maxcpu I really think we should keep the function name, I can
duplicate code and make a simpler function just for parsing the
cell no.

  Which is done in my version, will propagate.
