Purpose: HDFFV-8003 - ph5diff (parallel h5diff): daily test failure on ember intermittently during non comparable test file comparison HDFFV-7755 - parallel h5diff : hanging on koala intermittently during non comparable test file comparison Description: non-comparable test intermittently hung on koala and ember, but not on jam. it didn't occur until -np reaches 4 or bigger. it occurred once out of many repeated attempts of the same test. There was a incorrectly (mistakenly?) duplicated code in MPI section which caused such hang in a certain condition. The test used more processes than other tests, which increased chance to trigger more undone processes, and such process could enter the incorrect code section and wait for wrong pair of send. it explains why it occurred intermittently according to machine condition and using a certain feature. Removed incorrect code which blocked correct code. Tested: some manually repeated test performed jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE)

+ - ph5diff: Fixed intermittent hang issue on a certain operation in
+ parallel mode. It was detected by daily test for comparing
+ non-comparable objects, but it could have occurred in other
+ operations depend on machine condition. HDFFV-8003 (JKM 2012/08/01)
- h5diff: Fixed test failure for "make check" due to failure of
copying test files when performed in HDF5 source tree. Also applied
to other tools.
