    Dear BLCR-ML-Members,
    
    I trid to use BLCR for checkpointing mpich on 2 execution environments.
    I used completely same codes on MPI application, mpich, and BLCR.
    But on one environment, I got error message, "Restart failed: Invalid argument".
    
    Environment
    1. VMware 6.1(Intel Core 2 Duo), Linux-2.6.8-2-686, gcc 3.3.5
    2. AMD Opteron 242*2, Linux-2.6.12.2, gcc 3.3.5
    
    On Environment 1, I got correct restarting, but on Environment 2, I could't.
    So, I compared kernel log with CR_KTRACE_ALL.
    Then I noticed Environment2 has error on cr_rstrt_child.
    
    Please advise me about what's happened on BLCR , if you have an idea.
    Thank you.
