[mpich-discuss] Relative ordering of MPI_Iprobe()s and MPI_Barrier()s

Hi Darius,

Thanks for that - I haven't tried 1.3b1 yet - but that patch applied on its own to 1.2.1p1 appears to cause my example program to lock up because some of the Iprobes appear never to succeed.

Based on what Dave and Anh have said, it sounds like the right approach is for us not to make assumptions about the relative timing of barriers and probes. (Which leaves us with a puzzle of how to test our wrapper around MPI_Barrier...)

Cheers,

Edric.
