Generally, this is because multiple processes in your job aborted (exited with a signal or before MPI_FINALIZE) and mpirun only prints the first abort message. You can modify how many abort status messages you want to receive with the -aborted X option to mpirun, where X is the number of process abort messages you want to see. The message generally includes some information on what happened to your process. Hope this helps, Brian
