<pre wrap="">Hi All on the list,

I guess to have found a dead lock in the last MPICH2 v1.0.7, the scenery is the following:

thread 1 is the main user's application;
threads 2/3/4 are using the MPI functions for dynamically spawn a slave in a choosed node
        exchange some data, waiting the slave termination and finally they calls the 
        MPI_Comm_disconnect() for releasing the master/slave intercommunicator;
thread 5 is the dispatcher of the 2/3/4 threads it waits their termination;

So, looking at the calltrace of the thread2 the MPI is waiting that the poll(), which was called by MPIDU_Sock_wait(), 
returns, here we are within the MPI_Comm_disconnect(). The call trace of the thread3/4 is also in the 
MPI_Comm_disconnect() but it's waiting in a condition called by the MPIDI_CH3I_Progress(). So basically all the
three threads are stuck in the MPI_Comm_disconnect()! 

Does anyone have an idea what's going on here?

Thanks in advance.
Roberto Fichera.
