   I don't understand. 

   Say one process called it one less time then the rest. Then during the next 
call to MPI_Allreduce by the rogue process it will have a different LINE and 
FILE from the others (since they will still be at the previous call site)  and 
hence the macro will generate an error message since line and file won't match. 
 What is wrong with my reasoning?
