Ralph, I'm working on a test-case for that now, hopefully I can nail it down to a particular openmpi version. I have another small issue, which is somewhat bothering: orterun 1.2.6 exits with return code zero if the executable cannot be found. Should this be non-zero? E.g. $ orterun /asdf --

I can guarantee bproc support isn't broken in 1.2 - we use it on several production machines every day, and it works fine. I heard of only one potential problem having to do with specifying multiple app_contexts on a cmd line, but we are still trying to confirm that it wasn't operator error. In th

Thanks for pointing this out (I'm not sure how I got that wrong in the test) -- making the test program do the right thing gives: (merle):test$ mpirun -np 4 test before MPI_Init: PWD:/home/tgamblin getcwd: /home/tgamblin/test before MPI_Init: PWD:/home/tgamblin

I think the issue here is that your test app is checking $PWD, not getcwd(). If you call getcwd(), you'll get the right answer (see my tests below). But your point is noted that perhaps OMPI should be setting PWD to the correct value before launching the user app. [5:01] svbu-mpi:~/tmp %
