Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your answer.
I have downloaded the Netpipe benchmarks suite, launched `make mpi` and
launched with mpirun the resulting executable.
Here is an interesting fact : by launching this executable on 2 nodes, it works
; on 3 nodes, it blocks, I guess on connect.
Each process is running on a core, on each machine, using 100% of one CPU ; but
nothing else happens. I have to kill the program to quit.
Setting the option -mca btl_base_verbose to 30 shows me that the last thing
tried by each node is to connect to other nodes.
May it be a network issue ?
Thanks,

I don't see anything obviously wrong with this code.

That's very odd.

That's even more odd.
Can you run standard benchmarks like MPI net pipe, and/or the OSU benchmarks?
(across multiple nodes, that is)
