Jeff, I agree that one would expect stat() to be safe; my comment about "crafty things" wasn't intended as a judgement call on this approach. I think the code is pretty clever, but it's a hard problem when you are operating with no clear rules about what is permitted in the init hook. :-) > Unfortunately, I will not be able to use the internet for a week from now. > This means that I can't help fixing the issue.

Otherwise, I can easily convert my "#if 0" hack into a patch that checks for an environment variable. Jeff previously suggested setting OMPI_MCA_disable_memory_allocator; is that the variable we want to use? Regards, -Steve
