Great!

If you mean the MVAPICH people then yes, they do but if I take 
mvapich-0.99beta/mvapich-0.99 there were no changes in this part. 
We're using MVAPICH-1.0beta since two months on our 530 node cluster 
but I haven't aggressively tested this version yet.

If I look around I see the integration into the OFED-1.3 stack which will be
released at end of February. Maybe this would be a good date.

Currently, I'm trying to get the TotalView stuff working with mpiexec. Maybe I
have to make another patch therefore. This date would give me also some time
for this. ;)

Best Regards,
Frank
