    Only a week after releasing 0.6.3, there is now a 0.6.4 release to fix a 
    potential kernel panic when checkpointing mmap()s of HUGETLBFS files 
    with some kernels.  It also adds support for the 2.6.24 kernel, released 
    last week.
    
    The 0.6.4 release is now available from the BLCR Downloads page: 
    http://ftg.lbl.gov/CheckpointRestart/CheckpointDownloads.shtml
    
     From the NEWS file:
    
    0.6.4
    --------
    January 28, 2008
    Bug-fix and expanded-support release.
      - This release adds support for 2.6.24 kernels.
      - This release fixes bug 2234 which could cause a kernel Oops when
        dealing with mmap()s of HUGETLBFS on some kernels.
