Maybe Jeff can chime in here, but he mentioned to me that Sandia Labs were using IB/rdmacm. > This really is a bug in OMPI, how long do you think this new feature > should remain outside the upstream kernel?

But I believe Jeff asked at least that we pull it from 2.6.33 and let OMPI get its next release out with the OMPI fix. Then you can push it into 2.6.34 if we really want this feature. I will commit to get the fix in openmpi asap.
