Which network transport are you using, and what version of Open MPI are you
using? Do you have OpenFabrics support compiled into your Open MPI
installation?
If you're just using TCP and/or shared memory, I can't think of a reason
immediately as to why this wouldn't work, but there may be a subtle interaction
in there somewhere that causes badness (e.g., memory corruption).
