Hi folks, recently we’ve been getting a Valgrind error in PMPI_Init for our suite of regression tests:

Other times every single test we’re running has this error. Has anyone seen this or might be able to offer an explanation? If it is a false-positive, I’d be happy to suppress it :) Thanks a lot in advance Michael P.S.: This error is not covered/suppressed by the default ompi suppression file in $PREFIX/share/openmpi. -- Michael Schlottke-Lakemper SimLab Highly Scalable Fluids & Solids Engineering Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (JARA-HPC) RWTH Aachen University Wüllnerstraße 5a 52062 Aachen Germany Phone: +49 (241) 80 95188 Fax: +49 (241) 80 92257 Mail: m.schlottke-lakem...@aia.rwth-aachen.de<mailto:m.schlottke-lakem...@aia.rwth-aachen.de> Web: http://www.jara.org/jara-hpc
