It will not. MPI_COMM_SPAWN assumes that you are spawning an MPI
application and therefore after the process is launched, it tries to
do MPI-level coordination with it to setup new communicators, etc.
FWIW: MPI-2 says that you are *only* allowed to launch MPI processes
through MPI_COMM_SPAWN[_MULTIPLE].
This could well be the error that you are seeing (I haven't tried it
myself to see what would happen).
