This case actually works. We run into it few days ago, when we
discovered that one of the compute nodes in a cluster didn't get his
Myrinet card installed properly ... The performance were horrible but
the application run to completion.
You will have to use the following flags: --mca pml ob1 --mca btl
mx,tcp,self
