I haven't looked at this very carefully yet. Maybe someone can confirm what I'm seeing? If I try to "mpirun `pwd`", the job should
fail (since I'm launching a directory rather than an executable). With v1.7, however, the return status is 0. (The error message
also suggests some confusion.)
My experiment is to run
mpirun `pwd`
echo status is $status
Here is v1.7:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open MPI tried to fork a new process via the "execve" system call but
failed. This is an unusual error because Open MPI checks many things
before attempting to launch a child process. This error may be
indicative of another problem on the target host. Your job will now
abort.

Here is v1.6:

mpirun noticed that the job aborted, but has no info as to the process
that caused that situation.

status is 1
