WAIT. This contradicts the intent of what I said on the call this morning.
The point is that any env variable that begins with "OMPI_" is supposed to be propagated out to all the remote processes. It's a cheap/easy way for users to propagate their env variables to remote nodes (without needing to "mpirun -x" every variable they want to export). Specifically, I should be able to do something like this: ----- $ hostname my_localhost $ cat myscript : echo `hostname`: $OMPI_foo $ export OMPI_foo=bar $ cat hostfile some_remote_host $ mpirun --hostfile hostfile -np 1 myscript some_remote_host: bar $ ----- This behavior has been in OMPI for a long time; please do not take it out. If exporting non-MCA OMPI_<foo> env variables causes the problem, then it's a side effect.
