This is an error in the code.  I will soon update the errata page on
the MPI Forum home page to state that p. 153, line 39 should have
comm_b not comm_a.

For future reference, the MPI Forum home page discusses how to log
official comments about the document.  It can be viewed at
http://www.mpi-forum.org.  The official address for comments is
mpi-comments@mpi-forum.org.
