Dear all:

I'm using mpi_iprobe to serve as a way to send signals between different mpi
executables. I'm using the following test codes (fortran):

#1
program send
implicit none
        include 'mpif.h'

real*8 :: vec(20000)=1.0
integer :: ierr,i=0,request(1)

        call mpi_init(ierr)
        do
                call mpi_isend(vec,20000,mpi_real8,
0,1,mpi_comm_world,request(1),ierr)
                i=i+1
                print *,i
                vec=-vec
                call usleep_fortran(2.d0)
                call mpi_wait(request(1),MPI_STATUS_IGNORE,ierr)
        end do

end program send
--------------------------------------------------
#2
program send
implicit none
        include 'mpif.h'

real*8 :: vec(20000)
integer :: ierr

        call mpi_init(ierr)
        do
                if(key_present()) then
                        call
mpi_recv(vec,20000,mpi_real8,1,1,mpi_comm_world,MPI_STATUS_IGNORE,ierr)
                end if
                call usleep_fortran(0.05d0)

        end do

contains

function key_present()
implicit none
  logical :: key_present

        key_present = .false.
        call
mpi_iprobe(1,1,mpi_comm_world,key_present,MPI_STATUS_IGNORE,ierr)
        print *, key_present

end function key_present

end program send
-----------------------------------
The usleep_fortran is a routine I've written to pause the program for that
amount of time (in seconds).  As you can see, on the receiving end I'm
probing to see whether the message has being received every 0.05 seconds,
where each probing would result a print of the probing result; while the
sending is once every 2 seconds.

Doing
mpirun -np 1 recv : -np 1 send
 Naturally I expect the output to be something like:

1
(fourty or so F)
T
2
(another fourty or so F)
T
3

however this is the output I get:

1
(fourty or so F)
T
2
(about a two second delay)
T
3

It seems to me that after the first set of probes, once the message was
received, the non-blocking mpi probe becomes blocking for some strange
reason.  I'm using mpi_iprobe for the first time, so I'm not sure if I'm
doing something blatantly wrong.
