The hosts are coming from the slurm allocation, though I also tried adding 
-host arguments. The error you describe comes well after the hostfile has been 
read - it comes after the procs are mapped - and so how the hosts enter the 
system is irrelevant.

I'm still building on odin, but will check there again to see if I can 
replicate - perhaps something didn't get committed cleanly.
