How odd. That shouldn't happen -- we should be detecting that those
IP interfaces aren't active and then not use them.
Sorry for the hassle this caused you -- I'm glad we got you working,
but I'll poke around to see if we can't fix this properly so that you
don't need to specify btl_tcp_if_include (check out the FAQ for more
convenient mechanisms for specifying MCA parameters, such as in the
environment or in a file).
Thanks for the report!
