Known Problems
==============
+* On IBM AIX systems, parallel HDF5 mode will fail some tests with error
+ messages like "INFO: 0031-XXX ...". This is from the command poe.
+ Set the environment variable MP_INFOLEVEL to 0 to minimize the messages
+ and run the tests again.
+ The tests may fail with messages like "The socket name is already
+ in use". HDF5 does not use sockets (except for stream-VFD). This is
+ due to problems of the poe command trying to set up the debug socket.
+ Check if there are many old /tmp/s.pedb.* staying around. These are
+ sockets used by the poe command and left behind due to failed commands.
+ Ask your system administrator to clean them out. Lastly, request IBM
+ to provide a mean to run poe without the debug socket.
+
* h5fc and h5c++ compilation scripts have a bug: object files (*.o) cannot be
created when source code is compiled using h5fc or h5c++. We will provide
a fix. Please check ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/current/src/patches/
