I could see if less then N processes exit with non-zero exit code that
the ORTE may choose not to abort the job. However, if all N processes
have exited or aborted I expect everything to clean up and mpirun to
exit. It does not do that at the moment which I think is what is
causing most of the hangs in the MTT trunk runs which did not occur
prior to this week.

This has come up again because some of the MTT tests depend on a specific
behavior when a process exits with a non-zero status - in this case, they
expect ORTE to abort the job. At some point, the default had been switched to
NOT abort the job if a process exited with a non-zero status.
So I'll throw this out to the community: if any process exits with a non-zero
status, should ORTE abort the job?
I don't personally care, but we ought to decide on something. In the meantime,
I will set the default so we DO abort, thus allowing the MTT runs to complete
correctly.
FWIW: the MCA param orte_abort_non_zero_exit can always be set to control this
behavior.
