I see a segfault show up in trunk testing starting with r26598 when
tests like
ibm collective/struct_gatherv
intel src/MPI_Type_free_[types|pending_msg]_[f|c]
are run over openib. Here is a typical stack trace:

The fact that some derived data types were sent before seems to have
something to do with it. I see this sort of problem cropping up in
Cisco and Oracle testing. Up at the level of
pml_ob1_send_request_start_copy, at line 485:
MCA_PML_OB1_SEND_REQUEST_RESET(sendreq);
I see
*sendreq->req_send.req_base.req_convertor.use_desc = {
length = 0
used = 0
desc = (nil)
}
and I guess that desc=NULL is causing the segfault at opal_convertor.c
line 404.
Anyhow, I'm trudging along, but thought I would share at least that much
with you helpful folks in case any of this is ringing a bell.
