I did change the default error handler (using Mpi_Comm_set_errhandler) in the
main_exe program. I replaced it with a printf.
My error handler is never called, but main_exe receives a SIGPIPE signal.
So the only solution I found is to catch SIGPIPE and forget it...>

OK. I keep watching for new versions of Open MPI.
