No -- Don't panic! The parallel I/O folks here are just interested in
seeing whether there are fixes in later versions that would help with
performance.
I was trying to port 1.2.6 into LA-MPI but it is painful (i.e.
broken) with an MPI implementation that doesn't have MPI_Info
defined. My guess is it will be easier with Open MPI.
