It looks like we goofed; we neglected to include F90 routines for the
CHARACTER type in the buffer. :-(

This is because that will use the [exactly equivalent] F77 bindings
-- you just lose the type safety. Until we can fix the bindings, if
you need to use CHARACTER buffer types, this is probably the best
workaround.

No, Open MPI should allow scattering of arbitrary sized messages.
Can you verify that your arguments to MPI_SCATTER are correct, such
as buffer length, the receive sizes on the clients, etc.?
Are any corefiles generated? Do you know which processes die?
