[Pkg-openmpi-maintainers] Bug#876142: openmpi needs updating to fix bug?

[Carlos Carvalho]

Package:libopenmpi2
Version: 2.1.1-6+b1

A mpi user here cannot run his program because of this error:

 Read -1, expected 60480, errno = 38

His program works in 2 other machines with [much] older versions of openmpi.
One of them runs Debian sid with libopenmpi1 version 1.6.5-11. The machine
where the error appears runs Debian sid with the latest version:

libopenmpi-dev    2.1.1-6+b1
libopenmpi2       2.1.1-6+b1
openmpi-bin       2.1.1-6+b1

I found in https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/3821 that a patch commited
in July 11 may fix the issue. The changelog shows that the Debian version is
older.

Perhaps it'd be useful if you could include the fix above in a newer version of
the sid packages?
