As of two days ago, this problem has disappeared and the tests that I had
written and run each night are now passing. Having looked through the
update log of my machine (Ubuntu 11.10) it appears as though I got a new
version of mpi-default-dev (0.6ubuntu1). I would like to understand this
problem in more detail -- is it possible to see what changed in this update?
Thanks,
Brett.
