<div>I am sorry that the test bed code has not been attached to the original message. </div>
<div>Enclosed please find it. I have also checked the issue in MPICH v3.1.3. Unfortunately,</div>
<div>the latest MPICH3 version behaves exactly the same as the MPICH2 v1.5, i.e. it also hangs </div>

Hi, </p>
<p style="margin-right:0px; margin-bottom:1.5em; margin-left:0px; padding:0px; font-family:Arial,宋体,Tahoma,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:rgb(83,87,94)">
I am straggling with a simple MPI program when a vector derived datatype is used as origin/remote datatypes in the MPI_Put RMA operation. The underlying idea is quite simple: a contiguous piece of memory is interpreted as a 2D array and only its certain slice
is going to be updated via MPI_Put. To this end, I am using a MPI_Type_vector call. Everything works fine when the stride value <= 24000, regardless count and blocklength. However, if stride is greater than 24000 then program simply hangs. The source code
is attached and you can simply verify the issue by compiling and running it with the following parameters:</p>

So, I am really puzzled what is happening here and any help will be greatly appreciated! </p>
