MPICH documentation available as URL 
   "http://www.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpiuserguide/node28.html#Node28"
mentions "a few features that may be of use in debugging MPI programs".

I am particularly interested in "the -dbx option to mpirun causes 
processes to be run under the control of the dbx debugger."  See URL
"http://www.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpiuserguide/node30.html#Node30".

What are the necessary conditions (i.e., certain version number of MPICH, 
must be using p4, etc.)?  Has anyone had success with this approach, or
can recommend an alternative?
