Hi Nate,

Sorry for the delay in getting back.  Thanks for the sanity check.  You may
have a point about the args string to MPI.init -
there's nothing the Open MPI is needing from this but that is a difference
with your use case - your app has an argument.

Would you mind adding a

System.gc()

call immediately after MPI.init call and see if the gc blows up with a
segfault?

Also, may be interesting to add the -verbose:jni to your command line.

We'll do some experiments here with the init string arg.

Is your app open source where we could download it and try to reproduce the
problem locally?

thanks,

Howard
