Dear All,

As already said on this mailing list, I found that a simple Hello_world 
program does not necessarily  end (the program just hangs after the 
MPI_Finalize(), and I can printf the MPI_FINALIZED which confirm that the MPI 
part of the code has finished, but the exit() or return() never ends).

So I tried to use MPI_Abort(), and observed two different behaviors 
(description of the architecture is given below). 
Either it ends with a segfault, or the application doesn't return to shell, 
even if the string "MPI_ABORT was [...] here)." appears on screen (program 
just hangs, as with MPI_Finalize()).

This is annoying since I need several execution in a batch script, since 
several submission cost a lot of time in queues. Then, if you have any tips 
to bypass the hanging of the application, I take it (even if it means 
recompile OpenMPI with specific options of course).

Thank you!

.Yves.

Here is an example of the output produced on screen. Note that errorcode is 
the rank of the process which called MPI_Abort().

############################################
MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD
with errorcode 0.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpiexec has exited due to process rank 0 with PID 18062 on
node ha8000-1 exiting without calling "finalize". This may
have caused other processes in the application to be
terminated by signals sent by mpiexec (as reported here).
