I initially did a Google search on the error text and "Open MPI FAQ"
Since the error message issued by 2.1.x no longer matches the text in the
FAQ entry, my search did not find the entry.

Not only is the FAQ entry text (error message) specific to 2.0.x, but so is
the entry's title "I am using Open MPI 2.0.x and getting an error at
application startup. How do I work around this?"

So, I still think a new FAQ entry is needed OR the existing one should be
generalized.
