Thanks. The example on page 3 doesn't seem to match the description you 
provided a few calls ago. This was my understanding:

	MPI_Helper_team_create();

	if (thread_id != master_thread)
		MPI_Helper_join();

	if (thread_id == master_thread) {
		MPI_Allgather(...);
		MPI_Helper_leave(); /* this releases all the threads */
	}

	MPI_Helper_team_destroy();

Did I miss something here?

Secondary point -- we might consider passing the number of threads as a 
parameter to Helper_join, rather than create a new call 
MPI_Helper_team_create/destroy. Do you they serve any other purpose than 
just telling how many threads will be joining in?

Sure, we can do that.
