Comment 1 for bug 566822

This has already been fixed in the MPICH2 trunk a while ago:
http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/mpich2/changeset/5845/mpich2/trunk

But it looks like this hasn't been pushed to the stable 1.2.x series.
I'll back port it shortly. But you are welcome to pull the patch
directly as well.
