added earlier, sorry! --Dirk)

| 0: sent message

| 0: got message (1) from 1

Now I'm even more confused. I though the bug was that it segfaulted when used
on a Debian-on-freebsd-kernel system ?

I see, thanks.  Well if the bug is in the header files supplied by that
package, please go ahead and file a bug report.

Ack.

Ok. Back to the initial bug of Open MPI on Debian/kFreeBSD. What exactly is
the status now?

Thanks, Dirk
