I have a section in my code running in rank 0 that must start a perl program
that it then connects to via a tcp socket.
The initialisation section is shown here:
sprintf(buf, "%s/session_server.pl -p %d &", PATH,port);
int i = system(buf);
printf("system returned %d\n", i);
Some time after I run this code, while waiting for the data from the perl
program, the error below occurs:
qplan connection
DCsession_fetch: waiting for Mcode data...

It seems that the linux system() call is breaking OpenMPI internal connections.
Removing the system() call and executing the perl code externaly fixes the
problem but I can't go into production like that as its a security issue.
Any ideas ?
(environment: OpenMPI 1.4.1 on kernel Linux dc1 2.6.18-274.3.1.el5.028stab094.3
using TCP and mpirun)
