I filed a bug fix for this one. However, something you should note. If you fail to provide a "-np N" argument to mpiexec, we assume you want ALL all available slots filled. The rankfile will contain only those procs that you want specifically bound. The remaining procs will be unbound.
So with your hostfile, we are going to run EIGHT processes, with ranks 0-3 located as specified in the rankfile. If that isn't what you want, then you should add -np 4 to your cmd line.
