We aren't sure ecavtly what is going on, and are having trouble
duplicating the problem on our Solaris 8 machines. Can you send us the
output of 'mpicc -showme' and 'laminfo'?

My currently thought is that there is some strange (read: bad)
intereaction between Solaris threads (which are used by default in LAM
with Solaris) and Pthreads. But I don't know that for sure.
