FYI -
We upgraded to Open MPI 2.0.1 and this resolved the issue.
Of course, it was not so simple to get there, as the Centos 7.2 default
gcc (4.8.4) produced "internal compiler error" when recompiling NAMD
with OMPI 2.0.1 and 1.10.4. So we had to install a newer compiler. One
interesting result was the OMPI + NAMD performance comparisons with
various gcc versions. gcc 5.4.0 significantly outperformed gcc 6.2.0 on
our tests...

We did have some kind of stdout/stderr truncation issue a little while ago, but
I don't remember what version it specifically affected.
I would definitely update to at least Open MPI 1.10.4 (lots of bug fixes since
1.10.0). Better would be to update to Open MPI 2.0.1 -- that's the current
generation and where all of our work is going these days.

The stdout.log file prematurely ends (without full output)

I tried playing with a 'stdbuf' prefix to the command, but this didn't seem to
help
I would like (2) to work, but have resorted to (3).
I tried digging around in the parameters after seeing
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/341
and thinking it might be something similar, but didn't see any poll or epoll in
.conf
I am hesitant to try to compile from scratch and get away from the repo release
cycle.
Is this a known bug?
If so, and if it has been fixed, would you recommend I install the latest
stable rpm of 1.10.4-1 from https://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.10/ ?
Thanks,
Emre
