The attached is a more general test. Please note that these are very
sensitive to compilation options with ifort, and probably other
compilers as well. In many cases openmpi fails test 1 and perhaps some
of the others. Openmpi is not alone; the version of mvapich on my
cluster fails a simple "CNTRL/C" at the input leaving zombies!
