Maybe just a nitpick, but you aren't receiving the messages "out of
order", only interleaved - i.e. between each sender-receiver pair of
processes, messages are received in the order they were sent. You would
get approximately the same result if you via selective receive first
accepted message 1 from all senders, then message 2 from all, and so on
- your problem earlier was that you insisted on receiving *all* messages
from one process before accepting *any* from the other, causing the
latter to be queued up in your message queue.
