I'll have a look at those again on the weekend or beginning of next
week. Thanks for your work on that!

Another issue that I'd like to address: The only patch that we currently
apply to our OpenMPI is a rather trivial one and I'd like to ask you for
inclusion in OpenMPI. (Patch attached.) Because of some user request
about libibverbs warnings being issued if InfiniBand is not available,
we added a line to openmpi-mca-params.conf so it can be easily disabled
by the user without reading much documentation. We also documented that
in the Debian specific documentation. I do not know how often this
questions arises but I think it won't hurt to include that two lines
(one, actually) as it does not change the default behavior of OpenMPI.
(That was important to us.) If you could include that patch, we could
ship OpenMPI unmodified which I think is a Good Thing. :)

Thanks in advance!
