[mpich-discuss] mpi assertion error

[Jeff Hammond]

Null buffer assertions are suggestive of incorrect programs.  Can you
share the source of this program?

As for the inline vs attached files debate, I think that pastebin is a
superior option for large output since it is plain-text readable from
any internet-enabled device and doesn't lead to huge messages on the
list.  But for short messages, inlining is definitely good for email
reading on phones.
