Presumably that is this bug:
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/2043
I also found by trial and error that increasing the number of fifos, eg
-mca btl_sm_num_fifos 5
on a 6-processor job, apparently worked around the problem.
But yes, something seems broken in OpenMP shared memory transport with
gcc 4.4.x.
