I think that makes sense. I checked and my CentOS box is actually using 1.12.4 and seems to be fine. I can update it though and probably should.
FWIW: good to remember that this problem only *can* occur - it doesn’t always happen, and it seems to require some unusual steps to trigger it. So I don’t think it’s necessary to change anything in 1.8 as we can legitimately say “don’t do that”. > On Jan 7, 2015, at 6:43 AM, Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) <jsquy...@cisco.com> > wrote: > > On Jan 6, 2015, at 9:52 PM, Ralph Castain <r...@open-mpi.org> wrote: > >> The 1.12 series had a set of problems caused by a changeover in the >> maintainers, so it should never be used.
