I doubt that will solve the problem. The issue is that procs are continuing to 
fail while you are trying to respond to the first one. Here is what happens:

1. first proc fails, causing a "connection failed" error that gets reported to 
the orted errmgr.

2. errmgr_orted starts trying to send "proc failed" notifications to the 
remaining procs

3. next proc fails before the rml.send command in #2. OOB sees failure and 
removes that connection from its hash table.

4. rml.send is issued, and fails because that connection is no longer in the 
OOB hash table.

So the inherent problem has nothing to do with maintaining coherence in the 
child list - it has to do with the disconnect between what is happening in the 
errmgr and the oob.
