Hi again Rob, thanks for your fast response.

This problem only appears when I launch a job in the kernel mode. If I
launch a job in the native kernel mode, all work fine (using the previous
version DCMF). So, I guess that the bug is in the DCMF library because I
use the same mpich2 version.

I'll try link my bench with the lasted compiled mpich plus the previous of
the DCMF libraries.

Thanks for all
