    Hi,
    
    I get the following error when I re-start a context file produced by 
    blcr-0.7.0 :
    
    => cr_restart context.21849
    Restart failed: Bad address
    
    The dmesg command produces the following error :
    
    blcr: Retry request on -CR_ENOSUPPORT
    blcr: thaw_threads returned error, aborting. -14
    
    Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Is this a bug?
    
    Several more pieces of info :
    
    I run blcr on a 64 bit machine running linux red-hat :
    
    =>uname -a
    Linux ivel6 2.6.9-67.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 7 13:56:44 EST 2007 x86_64 
    x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    
    Th size of the context file that produces the error is very large, 
    around 36G. When a checkpoint the same executable with an smaller data 
    set, which produce a smaller context file (around 3G) re-start works 
    with no problem.
    
    Thanks in advance for your help.
