Jayesh described here:

The notion that from 1.3.2 on Linux systems, node failure would not 
result in the termination of an MPI job.

I have just compiled mpich2 with the intention of running a simple MPI 
program on our 32 node cluster to test the behaviour I think Jayesh is 
describing.

Do you have a simple unit test C file, or a simple example that I can 
use to test the continuation of jobs in the face of node failure?

Regards,
