Hi there!

I'm trying to fork() a (data display) process (for debugging) from a 
running MPI process, but the whole program bombs, it forks over and 
over again...

What's going on here?

I'm using MPICH (sorry, can't find version right now) on Linux 2.0.4, 
on HP-UX 9 and SunOS 2.3, it happens on all.

Thanks
Andre
