    Hi,

I get the following error when I re-start a context file produced by 
blcr-0.7.0 :

=> cr_restart context.21849
Restart failed: Bad address

The dmesg command produces the following error :

blcr: Retry request on -CR_ENOSUPPORT
blcr: thaw_threads returned error, aborting. -14

Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Is this a bug?

Several more pieces of info :

I run blcr on a 64 bit machine running linux red-hat :

=>uname -a
Linux ivel6 2.6.9-67.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 7 13:56:44 EST 2007 x86_64 
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Th size of the context file that produces the error is very large, 
around 36G. When a checkpoint the same executable with an smaller data 
set, which produce a smaller context file (around 3G) re-start works 
with no problem.

Thanks in advance for your help.
