OK, I've done a commit (r16951) to make it less noisy. Let me know how it goes because I can't reproduce this at the moment. I'm really curious about this release of Red Hat though.... On my Ubuntu system, if I try to create an SCTP socket and the kernel module isn't loaded/modprobe'd, the system loads it automatically based off the entry in the modules alias file which tells the system where to find the appropriate .ko file. These mappings seem to be messed up in the Red Hat out-of-the-box RHEL4U4 release though, if I'm understanding things correctly... does anyone know if this is is a known problem for this particular distro? If not, I'll try to get to installing and playing with this release eventually (working on Solaris support for the SCTP BTL (1-1) and a few other non-OpenMPI things at the moment though...).
