FWIW: Ralph committed a change to mpirun the other day that will now check if
you're missing integer command line arguments. This will appear in Open MPI
v1.7. It'll look something like this:
% mpirun -np hostname
-----------------------------------------------------------
Open MPI has detected that a parameter given to a cmd line
option does not match the expected format:
Option: np
Param: hostname
This is frequently caused by omitting to provide the parameter
to an option that requires one. Please check the cmd line and try again.
