OK, I guess we can modify our apps.

I was not running the Voltaire SM but a back-to-back setup without any
subnet manager in fact (since I can't compile the userspace stuff due to
missing files like ib_al.h - can somebody please provide instructions on
how to build the userspace part?)
So maybe I did the unexpected, ping'ing away without SM, hence the crash
:]

thanks a lot,
