[mvapich-discuss] Bad variable names in OSU benchmarks

[Jeff Squyres]

Greetings.

I notice that three of the OSU benchmarks have global variables named  
"stat" in them.  This is not a good idea because there is a system  
call named stat (see stat(2)).  Having a global variable with the  
same name as a system call can lead to unexpected and disastrous  
results.

Additionally, these poorly-named global variables are not used.  So  
it's probably safest just to remove them.  A patch is attached.
