with non-zero code. Failure to support file size greater than 2GB is
not a fatal error for HDF5 becuase HDF5 can use other file-drivers such
as families of files to by pass the file size limit.

+By default, the parallel tests use /tmp/$LOGIN as the test directory.
+This can be override by the environment variable $HDF5_PARAPREFIX.
+For example, if the tests should use directory /PFS/user/me, do
+ HDF5_PARAPREFIX=/PFS/user/me
+ export HDF5_PARAPREFIX
+ make check

+(In some batch job system, you many need to hardset HDF5_PARAPREFIX in
+the shell initial files like .profile, .cshrc, etc.)
