The issue is that finalize might actually need to do something synchronizing between all connected processes.  I think it therefore might actually cause connected processes to block until everyone actually finalizes (vs. calling FINALIZE).

But maybe that isn't disastrous.  If you don't want that (potential) behavior, you should COMM_DISCONNECT before finalize.
