 Hello all,

 I've been trying to use MPI_Alltoallw
 from a fortran program, without much
 success. I believe the reason for this
 is likely to be that (for version 7.1.1
 of LAM, at least), the relevant wrapper
 (share/mpi/f77/alltoallw_f.c) actually
 calls MPI_Alltoallv, with the same
 arguments (as Alltoallw).
 
 As a result, the displacement arguments
 are interpreted as MPI datatype extents
 instead of bytes, and data types other
 than the first in send and recvtypes
 will be ignored. I've bodged together
 the attached replacement for the
 wrapper, which seems to work for me
 (but I lack experience with this sort
 of stuff) - have I got this right?

 Regards,

 Roderick
