[MPICH2-dev] Error creating custom MPI Type struct

Hello Rajeev,

I was able to successfully run the program that you sent. So, that means
that the code works on Windows.

Is there anything else I can do, as in set a logging setting to be able
to better debug the error?

Thanks!

If you run just the attached program, does it still give the same error?
(It's your code snippet in a runnable form.)
