Could the nodes be running out of shared memory and/or temp filesystem space?

I have not seen this before. I assume that for some reason, the shared memory transport layer cannot create the file it uses for communicating within a node. Open MPI then selects some other transport (TCP, openib) to communicate within the node so the program runs fine.

The code has not changed that much from 1.2 to 1.3, but it is a little different. Let me see if I can reproduce the problem.

File not found in sm.

10 of them across 32 nodes (8 cores per node (2 sockets x quad-core))
"Apparently harmless"?

I just installed OpenMPI 1.3 with tight integration for SGE. Version

Now that I've upgraded to 1.3, I get the following errors in my standard

I've tested 3-4 different times, and the number of hosts that produces this error varies, as well as which hosts produce this error. My program seems to run fun, but it's just a simple "Hello, World!" program. Any
ideas? Is this a bug in 1.3?
