Hello, I'm running into a segfault when I run some relatively simple
MPI programs. In this particular case, I'm running a small program in
a loop that does MPI_Bcast, once per loop, within MPI_COMM_WORLD. The
buffer consists of just 7 doubles. I'm running with 6 procs on a
machine with 8 cores on OSX (Darwin - 15.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version
15.6.0: Thu Jun 23 18:25:34 PDT 2016;
root:xnu-3248.60.10~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64). When I run the same
program with a smaller number of procs, the error usually doesn't show
up. My compiler (both for compiling the MPICH source as well as my
application) is clang 3.8.1.

When I run the same program on linux, also with MPICH-3.2 (I believe
the same exact source), compiled with gcc 5.3, I do not get this
error. This seems to be something I get only with

gdb shows the following stack trace. I have a feeling that this has
something to do with my toolchain and/or libraries on my system given
that I never get this error on my other system (linux). However, it's
possible that there's an application bug as well.

I'm running the MPICH-3.2 stable release; I haven't tried anything
from the repository yet.

Does anyone have any ideas about what's going on here? I'm happy to
provide more details.

Thank you,
Mark
