WAIT.
This contradicts the intent of what I said on the call this morning.
The point is that any env variable that begins with "OMPI_" is supposed to be propagated out to all the remote processes. It's a cheap/easy way for users to propagate their env variables to remote nodes (without needing to "mpirun -x" every variable they want to export).
Specifically, I should be able to do something like this:
-----
$ hostname
my_localhost
$ cat myscript
:
echo `hostname`: $OMPI_foo
$ export OMPI_foo=bar
$ cat hostfile
some_remote_host
$ mpirun --hostfile hostfile -np 1 myscript
some_remote_host: bar
$
-----
This behavior has been in OMPI for a long time; please do not take it out.
If exporting non-MCA OMPI_<foo> env variables causes the problem, then it's a side effect.
