MPI_Testsome return MPI_UNDEFINED only when in the set of requests there
are no more active requests. Basically at this point the array of requests
(in your example) should contain only MPI_REQUEST_NULL. I check the
different possibilities inside, and I'm pretty confident that we are
correct from the MPI standard point of view. I run your test example and
the behaviour was correct. Moreover, it never miss one request.
Can you forward me your exact example to see what was wrong inside ?
Thanks,
george.
