Core files under mpich, p4 device

[Jaco Schieke]

Sorry - I should have stated that, but I have checked for limits.  If I ssh
to a compute node I get:

@csrv ~>ssh node44 limit
cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        unlimited
stacksize       8192 kbytes
coredumpsize    unlimited
memoryuse       unlimited
descriptors     1024
memorylocked    unlimited
maxproc         16382
openfiles       1024

I also found that I can produce a core dump if the offending statement is
before MPI_Initialize(), but not when it is after.

I presume that you are able to get core files?
