[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#498213: libmpich1.0gf: SIGSEV in MPI_Bcast when the size of the array is>40000

This is a packaging bug.  It does not occur if you self-build
mpich-1.2.7p1, so upstream seems innocent.

This is likely the same as <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231062>.

This bug has about the same impact as a silent wrong-code in GCC
for those wanting to do serious work with MPICH.  Please don't
ignore this bug.
