http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2013/04/21689.php, the assert in opal_datatype_is_contiguous_memory_layout() is not always correct -- he supplied a test case where it was not valid, essentially: 1. Call MPI_Type_create_indexed_block(0, ..., &newtype) and commit newtype 1. Call MPI_Type_create_resized(newtype, 0, nonzero_value, &resized) and commit resized 1. Call MPI_File_set_view with resized This will eventually call opal_datatype_is_contiguous_memory_layout(), and the assert will fail. After some consultation with George, it was determined that the assert() is basically good, but it needs to also check for (count != 0). This commit was SVN r28398.
