I'm usually working on 64 bits nodes and I never had this issue. I just run your test program on 64 bits AMD (compiled with gcc with and without debug), using MX, mvapi, openib and tcp and the code just run without any problems. There is one thing I see it can make your code failing. If you have a multi-devices cluster (namely 2 ethernet cards), it might happen that Open MPI does not discover them correctly. Or at least does not configure/use them correctly. There is an entry in the FAQ about how to do that. If it's the case then forcing the usage of one specific interface will solve the problem.

  Thanks,

I encountered an error with send/recv pairs on AMD64.  The first send
completes successfully, but subsequent send/recv pairs hang.  I also
believe that MPI_Bcast also hangs under simmilar conditions, but have
not created an explicit testcase for this (it happened in the code I
was working on).  Both machines are running AMD64 processors.

The problem only manifests when the tasks are on seperate machines.

The problem does not occur on x86 (32-bit) machines.

Thanks!
