The following code reproduces the problem for mpif90/ifort
11.1/openmpi-1.4.1. With an empty test.input (touch test.input) some
not reproducible number of zombies processes are created.
include "mpif.h"
call MPI_INIT(ierr)
call MPI_COMM_RANK(MPI_COMM_WORLD, irank, ierr)
open (unit=10,file='test.input')
if(irank.lt.3)then
read(10,1,err=20)ii
else
read(10,1)ii
endif
20 write(6,*)irank,ii
1 format(i4)
call MPI_FINALIZE(ierr)
end
N.B., if I deliberately create a format error for the read no zombies remain.
