That makes sense, because the growing intra communicator does a
collective accept on a new, single connecting slave. Actually
"connect" instead of "accept" works also, but I guess it shouldn't! Is
that a weird effect I should forget as soon as possible? As for me I
can not explain the conforming behaviour...
