Comment (by dradice@…):

 I recently stumbled upon this issue while running on Stampede with
 ET_2015_11. I do not use simfactory, I am not setting the KMP_AFFINITY
 environment variable, and I am using OpenMPI instead of mvapich.

 I should also mention that I do not see this problem with ET_2014_11, even
 when using the same optionlist, thornlist, and runscripts. I tried running
 both with and without the "tacc_affinity" wrapper that TACC recommends to
 use for hybrid OpenMP/MPI jobs and I see no difference. The only solution
 is to activate the "SystemTopology" thorn.

 I do not think that this issue should be really considered as a simfactory
 bug. The issue is clearly somewhere else. Would it make sense to have
 SystemTopology always active? Is there a reason why I would want to run
 without it?
