writeControl clockTime -> saves at different timesteps

hello there,

I found that using writeControl clockTime for big cases on many processors it happens that different processors save their data for (slightly..) different timesteps, making it impossible to recombine or restart. Renaming directories is an option, but of course introduces disturbances...
