Hi,

I'm encountering a strange problem and can't find it having been discussed on 
this mailing list.

When building and running my parallel program using any recent Intel compiler 
and OpenMPI 1.2.8, TotalView behaves entirely correctly, displaying the 
"Process mpirun is a parallel job. Do you want to stop the job now?" dialog 
box, and stopping at the start of the program. The code displayed is the source 
code of my program's function main, and the stack trace window shows that we 
are stopped in the poll function many levels "up" from my main function's call 
to MPI_Init. I can then set breakpoints, single step, etc., and the code runs 
appropriately.

But when building and running using Intel compilers with OpenMPI 1.3.x or 
1.4.x, TotalView displays the usual dialog box, and stops at the start of the 
program; but my main program's source code is *not* displayed. The stack trace 
window again shows that we are stopped in the poll function several levels "up" 
from my main function's call to MPI_Init; but this time, the code displayed is 
the assembler code for the poll function itself.

If I click on 'main' in the stack trace window, the source code for my 
program's function main is then displayed, and I can now set breakpoints, 
single step, etc. as usual.

So why is the program's source code not displayed when using 1.3.x and 1.4.x, 
but is displayed when using 1.2.8. This change in behavior is fairly confusing 
to our users, and it would be nice to have it work as it used to, if possible.

Thanks,
       Dennis
