Rob, I think you patch 2 is not right. It will endup calling the error
handler set in COMM_WORLD. So if you set the FATAL errhandler in a
file, but the RETURNS in comm world, then things will not work as
expected.

I think a better approach would be to somehow call

handleFatalError(NULL, "MPI_File_call_errhandler", errorcode);

in errutil.c, but that would require some code refactoring to access
that function.
