 Known Problems
 ==============
 
-    This section will be populated with issues reported to help@hdfgroup.org
-    during pre-release testing.  Please report any issues.
+    At present, metadata cache images may not be generated by parallel 
+    applications.  Parallel applications can read files with metadata cache
+    images, but since this is a collective operation, a deadlock is possible
+    if one or more processes do not participate.
+
+    Known problems in previous releases can be found in the HISTORY*.txt files 
+    in the HDF5 source. Please report any new problems found to 
+    help@hdfgroup.org.
