    To fix minor problems in 0.6.0, I am releasing BLCR 0.6.1.  It can
    be found at the BLCR Downloads page:
    http://ftg.lbl.gov/CheckpointRestart/CheckpointDownloads.shtml
    
     From the NEWS file:
    
    0.6.1
    --------
    September 25, 2007
    Bug-fix release
      - This release resolves build and run-time issues seen on Debian "sid".
      - This release eliminates the need to manually set __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ at
        configure time (ARM platform only).
      - This release fixes a file descriptor leak that occurred on failure of a
        checkpoint requested using any of the cr_request{,_file,_fd}() calls.
      - This release fixes a race condition and a LinuxThreads incompatibility
        in the "hooks" test (which is not run by default).
    
    
    This release does not contain any additional functionality over 0.6.0. 
    So, if you have not encountered any of the issues listed above there is 
    no pressing reason to update at this time.
    
    -Paul
    
    PS
    You are receiving this either because you are on the checkpoint_at_lbl_dot_gov
    list, or because you've recently sent email to the list (or me directly)
    asking about BLCR status.
