[MPICH] core dumps MPICH & Linux

[Darius Buntinas]

Note that MPICH2 does not (yet) run on heterogeneous clusters.  If you're
getting crashes, this may be why.

Try running
  ulimit -c
using mpiexec (as if it were an mpi program).  That will show you what the
limit is actually set at on each node.

-d
