Hi Valmor, What is happening here is that when Open MPI tries to create MX endpoint for communication, mx returns code 20, which is MX_BUSY.
At this point we should gracefully move on, but there is a bug in Open MPI 1.2 which causes a segmentation fault in case of this type of error. This will be fixed in 1.2.1, and the fix is available now in the 1.2 nightly tarballs.
