The workaround is only in the test suite. There remains a bug, either
within openmpi or within gyoto but triggered by the new version of openmpi.

Concerning gyoto, I would only rate it "normal" though, not "serious",
if you can confirm that the workaround actually worked in the testing
testbed. If this is the case, I would decrease the severity of the bug
and keep it opened. It would be great if the openmpi mainainers could
have a look, but I guess they will need a me to provide a minimal
example which will not be easy to provide, unless they experience the
same symptoms in other situations.

Regards, Thibaut.
