Forgot to add the date of my compiler was 2011.10.11 so I wonder if it might not have this issue you mentioned below. Anyways, I'll keep the below in mind as I try to run more tests.

thanks,

Terry,

What you are seeing is a bug in the vectorizer in the Intel 2011.6.233 release. We've talked about this before. You should probably remove that compiler from your system(s). I think the new release of OpenMPI describes this problem, but does not stop if from occurring. I write a patch for ptmalloc2/malloc.c for OpenMPI 1.4.3 which automatically adjusts the optimization level for _int_malloc(), which is where the bug occurs.

I am seeing several Cart Fortran tests (like MPI_Cart_coords_f) segv in opal_memory_ptmalloc2_int_free when OMPI trunk is compiled with icc 12.1.0 for 64 bit on linux. Just wondering if anyone has seen anything similar to this with a different version of icc. Other non-Intel compilers seem to not exhibit this issue.
