[R-sig-hpc] Rmpi openMPI error

[Bryan Loughry]

Hi,

We have been using Rmpi and openMPI for a long time and recently upgraded to R 2.13.1, openMPI 1.4.1 (also tried 1.4.3), Rmpi 0.5-8

We are now getting the error shown below.  Have also tried to roll back to our previous versions but have been unable to get this to work.  It seems to be Rmpi as we have no issues with mpirun working (locally or across machines).  Below if a copy of my terminal session.  Notice that the first run works but the executing the exact same run again it fails?  Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated.
