I'm not sure what "run-time signal 31" is, but I can tell you from the MPI
side that you should not need to su over to root to checkpoint the
parallel application. You should give "cr_checkpoint pid_of_mpirun" and
the whole process should be checkpointed.
Be sure that you compiled your LAM/MPI with support for BLCR and are using
the crtcp rpi module (or gm, at the CVS HEAD). The laminfo command can
tell you if you have supprot for blcr included -- running "laminfo" should
show a line similar to:
SSI cr: blcr (Module v1.0.1)

Not at this time.
