Hi,

in my 'program' I kill some spawned LAM processes:
   
% MPIL_Signal(intercomm, 0, LAM_SIGUDIE); 

Then I get the following message (in the output window of the process
which was killed):

% MPI error: process not initialized

What could cause this ? Must a kill signal reach the process between 
MPI_Init() and MPI_Finalize(). Or is it because I have initialized the
process with 

% MPI_Init(NULL, NULL);

Thanks for any clue,

Lothar.

P.S.: The 'program' is a bit long, therefore it makes no sense to show
      the whole code. But MPIL_Signal(...., LAM_SIGUDIE) is the cause
      of the error message.
