Sidenote:
Please do not request return receipts on this mailing list because the
mails ultimately get sent from the mailing list address, not yours.
Hence, as the list administrator, I get all the receipts.
Even though I now know how many of you use MS Exchange :-), I really don't
want to get these return receipts (especially since they'll inevitably
continue to dribble in over the next 24-72 hours).
Thanks.

Err... I assume that this is an e-mail typo, and you meant to type
"--with-rsh=ssh", right?

After a little more testing, I see what happened here.
Yes, you're right -- this is a bug. It's fixed for 7.0.1. Thanks for
noticing! :-)
I tested yesterday with the CVS HEAD (i.e., early 7.1 code), and we have
revamped the code for how SSI parameters are handled. Hence, it worked
properly there (hence, my confusion yesterday). I just tested with a pure
7.0 tarball and the 7.0.1 CVS branch and both exhibit the same behavior
that you're seeing.
It turned out to be a relatively simple problem with the SSI parameter
handling code in the rsh boot module -- I've just committed the fix to
CVS. This, along with a small number of other fixes, is now available in
7.0.1b6 on the beta page (http://www.lam-mpi.org/beta/).
