[O-MPI users] thread support

[Hugh Merz]

Howdy,

  I tried installing the release candidate with thread support 
enabled ( --enable-mpi-threads and --enable-progress-threads ) using an 
old rh7.3 install and a recent fc4 install (Intel compilers). When I try 
to run a simple test program, the executable, mpirun and orted all sleep 
in what appears to be a deadlock.  If I compile ompi without threads 
everything works fine.

  The faq states that thread support has only been lightly tested, and 
there was only brief discussion about it in the maillist 8 months ago - 
have there been any developments, and should I expect it to work properly?

Thanks,

Hugh
