[mpich2-dev] question about function MPIDI_CH3U_Handle_recv_req

[Darius Buntinas]

It's not safe to re-enter the function.  I can't remember right now the specific problems you'll have, but I remember deciding that it was not safe to do that when we added the assert.  

What are you trying to do?  We might be able to help you find a non-reentrant way to do it.
