[mpich-discuss] Crash with hydra on MPI_Finalize

[Pavan Balaji]

You don't need this option to debug your application. It's only to debug 
inside MPICH2. Totalview support for Hydra is automatically always enabled.

But I'll admit that I don't specifically know all of the features that are enabled by this option.  Perhaps someone else on the list who is more familiar with the debugger interface (Bill, Pavan?) can chime in.
