Hi,

I have a problem of MPI 1.2.0rc being locked in a "pthread_condition_wait" call.
This happen whatever the application when openmpi has been compiled with 
multi-thread support.

The full "configure" options are
"./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Mpi/openmpi-1.2 --enable-mpi-threads
--enable-progress-threads --with-threads=posix --enable-smp-lock"

An example of GDB session is provided here below:

I have read the other threads related to multi-threads support. I have 
understood that multi-thread support will not be a priority before the end of 
the year.

The thing is this locking stuff problem appeared only since 1.1.2 openmpi 
release and as it is a locking problem, I was wondering if you could do an 
exception and try to analyse this one before the end of the year.

Thanks,

Herve

P.S.: my OS is a debian sarge
