Hi HR,

Sorry for not noticing the receive side earlier, but as Ralph implied
earlier
in this thread, the MPI standard has more strict type matching for
collectives
than for point to point.  Namely, the number of bytes the receiver expects
to receive from a given sender in the alltoallv must match the number of
bytes
sent by the sender.

You were just getting lucky with the older open mpi.  The error message
isn't so great though.  Its likely in the newer open mpi you are using a
collective algorithm for alltoallv that assumes you're app is obeying the
standard.

You are correct that if the ranks don't know how much data will be sent
to them from each rank prior to the alltoallv op, you will need to have some
mechanism for exchanging this info prior to the alltoallv op.
