i didn't compile OpenMPI with bounds checking, but only my application. Problems with OMPI compiled with bound checking remains.

Were you checking only with the OMPI 1.2 series? If so, is there a chance you could test with the OMPI trunk? If we do have real bounds issues, it would be good to get them cleared up.

Hi Jeff,
i solved using Gigabit net and eth1 interface!

So, there are problems beetween Infiniband and gcc with bound checking.

This is probably not too surprising -- the IB driver gives back memory to the process that didn't come from malloc or other traditional memory allocators, and this can confuse bounds checkers, leading to false positives.

In the upcoming v1.3 series, we added a whole pile of stuff to handle these kinds of false positives when running under valgrind. Just curious -- does the gcc bounds checking stuff give you the possibility of saying "this memory is ok"? (valgrind does; we use it for IB-driver allocated or initialized memory)
