allocVector(INTSXP, countn+1) allocates an R vector of integers.
INTEGER(indices) returns the data portion of that structure, where the
actual integers go. The &...[0] get the address of the first location.
PROTECT keeps things from being garbage-collected by R.
The allocation of indices is a cheat: the first location is used for the
outcount, and the following locations get the actual indices.
status is a pointer to an array of MPI status objects,
The indices should be small integers, shouldn't they? I'm also getting
some large values back.
