PMPI_Bcast: Message truncated,

Hi,

I am trying to debug some problems with getting an exe developed by another group in our company to run on Intel MPI. I am using Linux version 4.1.

Debug  output as below....

Does the error indicate a "programming error" on their part ( buffers not sized correctly?) or some other issue.

Thanks
