Thanks, indeed the env variable fixes the issue and glad to hear its fixed in the latest version.

The fix is part of the MPICH 4.1.2 release just posted to our website and Github. I confirmed that your test program works as expected now vs. an older 4.1 release.

I believe I have narrowed the issue to an MPI bug associated with very basic usage of MPI Reduce. The following test code runs into a segmentation fault inside MPI when running with 2 MPI processes with the latest Ubuntu MPI build and MPI 4.0. It works for smaller values of message size (n) or if the root is rank 0. The usage of MPI_IN_PLACE adheres with the MPI standard.
