We have updated the BGL system software from version V1R2M0 to version V1R2M1. Although the new software is compatible with the old software, IBM recommends that all applications be recompiled. User visible changes include: -CIOD will now call the sync() API when it ends a job. This will ensure that all data is written to the file server when a job ends. Also, sync is called from each I/O Node's rc.shutdown script when a block is freed. -Fixed: MPI_Wtick was returning incorrect values. -Fixed: open() and dup2() syscall tests hang in KSYSCALL. -Fixed: When an application ends by signal and the default action for the signal is abort so a core file is generated, the core file does not contain the correct value for the terminating signal. -Fixed: Link checksum global CRC fails on the tree. -Fixed: MPI_Wait* and MPI_Test* calls with a count==0 fail. -Fixed: bglpersonality.h causes a floating point exception.
