More of an implementor's question:
	What should happen in a MPI_Recv() if a partially recieved
	message is incomplete because the sendor exits before the
	matching MPI_Isend() finishes. 

	Should the partially completed recieve finish with an error such
	as "sendor aborted"?
	Should the partially completed recieve be quietly cleaned up and 
	reposted?
