This is the error you get when an invalid communicator handle is passed
to a MPI function, the handle is deferenced so you may or may not get a
SEGV from it depending on the value you pass.

The  0x440000a0 address is an offset from 0x44000000, the value of
MPI_COMM_WORLD in mpich2, my guess would be you are either picking up a
mpich2 mpi.h or the mpich2 mpicc.
