[ofa-general] MVAPICH2 crashes on mixed fabric

[Mike Heinz]

Hey, all, I'm not sure if this is a known bug or some sort of limitation
I'm unaware of, but I've been building and testing with the OFED 1.3 GA
release on a small fabric that has a mix of Arbel-based and newer
Connect-X HCAs.
 
What I've discovered is that mvapich and openmpi work fine across the
entire fabric, but mvapich2 crashes when I use a mix of Arbels and
Connect-X. The errors vary depending on the test program but here's an
example:

[0] Abort: Got FATAL event 3
 at line 796 in file ibv_channel_manager.c
rank 0 in job 1  compute-0-0.local_36049   caused collective abort of
all ranks
  exit status of rank 0: killed by signal 9

If, however, I define my mpdring to contain only Connect-X systems OR
only Arbel systems, IMB-MPI1 runs to completion.
 
Can any suggest a workaround or is this a real bug with mvapich2?
