On my FreeBSD-6.3/amd64 platform I see "make check" failing 3 tests under test/datatype (see below). Of course "make" stops after that, making it possible that additional tests might fail later.
However, my records do show that the v1.5 branch was just fine on this machine, as was the trunk on or about Feb 21, 2012. So, unless the failing tests are new THIS IS A REGRESSION. Newer FreeBSD-7.2/amd64, FreeBSD-8.2/amd64 and FreeBSD-9.0/amd64 are all OK. The failures: $ grep -B1 ^FAIL $HOME/OMPI/openmpi-1.7rc5-freebsd6-amd64/LOG/check.log Segmentation fault (core dumped) FAIL: position -- Segmentation fault (core dumped) FAIL: ddt_test Segmentation fault (core dumped) FAIL: ddt_raw Using gdb to get a backtrace from the generated core files shows a stack over 1300 frames deep, which I suspect is either evidence of a corrupted stack (buffer overflow?) or of infinite recursion. There are no symbols with the backtrace, just numeric addresses.
