Version 1.8.2 is out, which brings a good list of bug fixes.

Yeh, professionally, I left the scientific world for Mozilla. So, my
interest for scientific packages
decreased. Sorry about that.
No problem, we all have lives too.
In the changelog, this line :
- Close many memory leaks to achieve valgrind-clean operation
suggests bug #732160 may be addressed.
How large an effort would it be to update openmpi from the 1.6 to the
1.8 series ?
Usually, upstream is great to keep our work easy.
That is good news.
However, it is likely that this version of OpenMPI requires an SO bump
(and therefor requires
a transition).
I am not surprised.
Such transition is going to be important to be done before Jessie.
However, we could prepare everything
in experimental.
If you are interested, I would be happy to sponsor such work.
I would be keen on giving it a go, however I am not too sure about
where to start once the latest source are imported.
FYI, I did a merge with 1.8.2 and tried a build with pbuilder, which
unsurprisingly failed.
Cheers,
Ghis
