Hello David,
True, if it might have made my task easier, but one has to make do with
what's there.
Are there debug version's of the MPI libraries/dll's that once can get
their hand's on?
Thanks!

Shashank Shankar,
If you look at the error in your original you will see:
MPI_Type_struct(130): Invalid datatype
If you look at the source code for MPI_Type_struct on line 130 you will
see
that it is checking the input array of datatypes and finds one that is
invalid.
It is unfortunate that some useful data was not reported in the error
output. It could have reported something like this:
MPI_Type_struct(130): Invalid datatype in old_types[40]. Value
0x00ab0046
is not an MPI datatype
That would have told you that entry 40 in your input array of datatypes
was
invalid. But even without that information it gives you a starting
place to
look at.

Thanks Rajeev. I shall try out Insure++.
Please do let me know if you can think of anything else.

There is probably some kind of memory error in your big program that is
causing corruption of the datatype array. If the code is not too big,
you
could just look at it. Otherwise you can try using some tools like
Insure++.
