FWIW, we have a few tests that use this functionality, IIRC. I think it make it easy to test various code paths (i.e., we don't *actually* have to spawn - we could create intercommunicators and/or test the accept/connect and join code paths, etc.). -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
