Yeah this sounds like the limitation of the number of app contexts that we can 
use in ORTE. Since ompi-restart uses N app contexts to restart a job (one for 
each process in the original job), then it is possible that we can hit this 
limitation.

I suspect that it should not be too difficult to change the type, but I have 
not looked into it. I filed a ticket so we don't lose track of the issue:
  https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/2783

If you have the time to work on a patch, I would be happy to review it. At this 
time, I am uncertain when I will get to this (and the other C/R) bugs. 
Hopefully soon, but it is not top priority at the moment.

Thanks,
Josh
