In tracking down the bug, we
first determined that all 256 broadcasts occurred and that each
process performed exactly one broadcast. We then attempted to
ascertain that each broadcast logically preceded the next, but
this turned out to be untrue, leading us to the error: the programmer
had omitted necessary barrier synchronizations between broadcasts.
