With the recent discussion about a singleton startup: then there won't be any
error message as a singleton startup. This is not consistent, but I see the
intention.
Maybe it could be checked against MPI_ERR_LASTCODE: if it's lower or equal:
output MPI error message as observed, otherwise treat it as an application
error unrelated to MPI, forward it without error message.
