We have had portability problems using ptmalloc2 in MPICH-GM, specially
relative to threads. In MX, we choose to use dlmalloc instead. It is not
as optimized and its thread-safety has a coarser grain, but it is much
more portable.
Disabling the memory manager in OpenMPI is not a bad thing for MX, as
its own dlmalloc-based registration cache will operate transparently
with MX_RCACHE=1 (default).
