Now there is a new problem. Testing openmpi-1.5.3-r1 and
Rmpi_0.5-9a.tar.gz with the attached R script I got a Segmentation  
fault or the program hangs in the vicinity of closeCluster() and  
mpi.quit(), which does not happen with openmpi-1.4.3 and  
Rmpi_0.5-9.tar.gz:

It seems, that the issue is not a special Rmpi problem, compare
