If you were using IB as the network transport, yes, it's a false positive. With memchecker enabled, Open MPI will *always* tell Valgrind that the entire contents of the buffer are defined, even when the data is coming from an OS-bypass transport (such as an OpenFabrics-based device, like IB). -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
