    First, let me apologize for the download problems many of you 
    encountered with the 0.6.2 release.
    
    Second, only a week after releasing 0.6.2, there is a 0.6.3 release to 
    fix a floating-point corruption problem on the x86-64 architecture 
    (present in 0.6.2 and all previous releases for the x86-64 architecture).
    
    The 0.6.3 release is now available from the BLCR Downloads page:
    http://ftg.lbl.gov/CheckpointRestart/CheckpointDownloads.shtml
    
     From the NEWS file:
    
    0.6.3
    --------
    January 22, 2008
    Bug-fix release.
      - This release fixes bug 2001 which was causing intermittent floating-
        point register corruption on x86-64, even after BLCR was unloaded.
    
    
    -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.
