Josh explained it to me a few days ago, that after a checkpoint has been
received TCP should no longer be used to not lose any messages. The
communication happens over named pipes and therefore (I think) OOB
ft_event() is used to quite anything besides the pipes. This all seems
to work but I was just confused as the functions for ft_event()
in oob/tcp and oob/ud do not seem to contain any functionality.
So do I try to fix the ft_event() function in oob/base/ to call the
registered ft_event() function which does nothing or do I just remove
the call to orte oob ft_event().
