Not sure if this will be of any use -- sure isn't any use to me as I
don't even begin to understand, but here's the output from the strace...
It did not attach to the wrf.exe process which I wanted, but it attached
to the mpi process which was running the wrf.exe, at least one of the
processes.  There are two at runtime.
