Thank you for the replies. Do I understand correctly that since OpenMPI
v1.10 is no longer supported, I am unlikely to see a bug fix for this
without moving to v2.x or v3.x? I am dealing with clusters where the
administrators may be loathe to update packages until it is absolutely
necessary, and want to present them with a complete outlook on the problem.

Thanks,
Nik
