Peter, The list address is checkpoint_at_lbl_dot_gov (I've cc:ed this reply and set Reply-To) If you are seeing this failure, then I would NOT proceed with using BLCR. We should figure out the source of the failure. Given the things we've been through in the past, my only guess is that you are using Xen with a version older than 3.1.2. If that is the case, the bug is actaully in Xen nor BLCR and you will need to upgrade Xen. If that is not the case, let us know and we'll see if we can figure out the source of the problem. -Paul Peter Elias wrote: > Dear Paul H.
