Really? I don't see how that can happen in loop_spawn - every process is
clearly calling comm_free. Or are you referring to the intercomm_create test?

I see the parent doing it in every loop:
MPI_Init( &argc, &argv);
for (iter = 0; iter < 1000; ++iter) {
MPI_Comm_spawn(EXE_TEST, NULL, 1, MPI_INFO_NULL,
0, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &comm, &err);
printf("parent: MPI_Comm_spawn #%d return : %d\n", iter, err);
MPI_Intercomm_merge(comm, 0, &merged);
MPI_Comm_rank(merged, &rank);
MPI_Comm_size(merged, &size);
printf("parent: MPI_Comm_spawn #%d rank %d, size %d\n",
iter, rank, size);
MPI_Comm_free(&merged);
}
MPI_Finalize();
I suspect that you are talking about intercomm_create, hence my confusion.
