[mpich-discuss] Process termination with Hydra

[Pavan Balaji]

Hi Rohit,

I think I know what's happening here -- earlier versions of Hydra used 
to cleanup all processes from all process groups, but we changed that to 
kill only one process group at a time (each spawn creates a new process 
group). The reason for this is to allow errors in a parent or child to 
not affect the other when disconnected. However, when you don't use 
connect/accept, this is not correct.

I have a patch for this and will commit it in after some more testing.
