Hi!
I'll work on a patch, and let you know when it is ready. Unfortunately it probably won't be for a couple weeks. :(
Ok, thanks a lot for letting me know. In three weeks we'll have a booth at ICT (http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/events/ict/2008) where we plan to showcase fault tolerance mechanisms, having OMPI as major checkpointing component. I think I will use the time until ICT for finding a workaround for this issue... :-) Best, Matthias
