Hi Ralph,

Yes, I have.  In openmpi email archive I found a few threads
related to EC2, but nothing relevant to what I am experiencing.
On EC2 discussion list, I find a few mention of openmpi, out of
which one case maybe I can be of help, but nothing that is relevant
to my situation.

Regards,

Tena
