Blah -- this is a segv when trying to print a help message. The help message you should have gotten was:
----- It looks like orte_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is likely to abort. There are many reasons that a parallel process can fail during orte_init; some of which are due to configuration or environment problems. This failure appears to be an internal failure; here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an Open MPI developer): orte_sds_base_select failed --> Returned value ?? instead of ORTE_SUCCESS ----- I'll look into why this happened (segv instead of printing the message). However, the real issue is why you got this error in the first place. What version of OMPI were you running (a nightly tarball, an rc tarball, etc.)? What run-time environment were you using -- a batch scheduler or simple rsh/ssh? Can you send the information listed in http://www.open-mpi.org/community/help/ ?
