SORRY, it was obviously a big mistake by me. :-( Open MPI 1.5.5 was built with LSF support, so when starting an LSF job it's necessary to request at least the number of tasks/cores as used for the subsequent mpirun command. That was not the case - I forgot the bsub's '-n' option to specify the number of task, so only *one* task/core was requested.
Open MPI 1.4.5 was built *without* LSF support, so the supposed misbehavior could not happen with it. In short, there is no bug in Open MPI 1.5.x regarding to the detection of oversubscription.
