My code uses MPI_ABORT to stop all processors in case any hit a
fatal error.  It works fine on an IBM SP and a SUN HPC machine, but
on the SGI Origin, I get the error message: "MPI_FINALIZE() not called" and
a bunch of core dumps from the nodes.

The MPI_ABORT feature is a simple and nice feature to throw
exceptions and halt execution across processors, but any MPI
calls that cause core dumps are a cause for worry.  Has anyone
found a good workaround for this?

Thanks!
