I've tried on my home Ubuntu 10.04, 64 bit version. It crashes with number of ranks 5-7, 9 and greater. I simply downloaded 1.4.3 version (http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.4/downloads/openmpi-1.4.3.tar.gz):
- configure --prefix=`pwd`/install && make install
- cd ~/projects/gather
- ~/projects/distribs/openmpi-1.4.3/install/bin/mpicc -o gather ./gather.c
- ~/projects/distribs/openmpi-1.4.3/install/bin/mpirun -n 9 ./gather
- crash!

Not exactly. I have 16 core nodes. Even if I run all 9 ranks on the same
node it fails (with --mca btl sm,self). I also tried running on different
nodes (3 nodes, 3 ranks each on each node) with openib and tcp - the same
effect. Also as I wrote in another message I could see this effect on vbox
with CentOS 5.3 (1 cores on guest, 4 cores on host, no network). So possibly
this is something OS specific? Will try on Ubuntu and share the results.
