Hopefully we can get this fixed before 1.8.2. as explained in #4610 (https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/4610) the root cause is in the way data are unpacked.
The scif btl is ok :-) when using --mca btl scif,self fragments can be received out of order, and that can trigger a bug introduced by r31496 that being said, --mca btl scif,vader,self does not work with r31496 reverted. the root cause is an other bug in the way data are unpacked, it happen also when fragments are received out of order *and* fragments contain a subpart of a predefined datatype. in this case, the vader btl received a fragment of size 1325 *and* out of order and that caused the bug.
