#2401: Messages corrupted if isend requests are not retained

 If I do a series of isends and discard the request objects (because I
 don't need to know when they complete), the messages can get corrupted. I
 realize this is the way the MPI library is designed, but I'm wondering if
 it possible to use some C++ goodness to make the request objects persist
 behind-the-scenes until the request is completed? The behavior is
 particularly unexpected in the Python layer. Thanks very much!
