The error you are seeing is usually indicative of some code operating on
memory that isn't aligned properly for a SPARC instruction being used.
The address that is causing the failure is odd aligned which is more
than likely the culprit. If you have a core dump and can disassemble
the code that is being ran at the time it probably will be some sort of
instruction requiring an alignment. If the MPI you are using is
something you built can you try and build OMPI with -g and get the line
number in the PML that is failing?
I haven't seen this type of error for some time but I do all of my SPARC
testing on Solaris with Solaris Studio Compilers. You may want to try
to compile the benchmark with "-m32" to see if that helps. Though being
an odd address I suspect it might not. If you can use the Studio
Compilers you could try giving the compilers the -xmemalign=8i option
when building the benchmark and see if that resolves the issue. This
would help to assure the issue is just an alignment of data we are
slicing and dicing as opposed to wrongly addressing memory.

The whole output can be found here:
http://net.razik.de/linux/T5120/openmpi-1.4.3-verbose.txt
That's my 'ompi_info --param all all' output:
http://net.razik.de/linux/T5120/openmpi-1.4.3_param_all_all.txt
Same error with OFED-1.5.4-rc4 and also the same with openmpi-1.4.4.
If I disable openib the I get the right results:
$ /usr/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.4.3/bin/mpirun --mca btl ^openib -np 2 -host
cluster1,cluster2
/usr/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.4.3/tests/osu_benchmarks-3.1.1/osu_latency
