The LAM Team is pleased to release version 7.0.5.

This is mainly a bug-fix release.

LAM tarballs, RH 9 i586 RPMs, and a Mac OS X 10.3 package is available
from the LAM/MPI main web site (and will be available on the mirrors
shortly): http://www.lam-mpi.org/.

A summary of the fixes are listed below:

- Fix an obscure race condition that could occur if running in a LAM
  universe with more than 255 nodes. Thanks to Robin Humble for
  pointing this out.
- Make getorigin() and getnodeid() return proper value in _kio, if
  they are called before kenter(), based on the pids.
- Fix the calculation of upper and lower bound of datatype which is
  used for the calculation of extent. The fix handles the cases where
  the block size is 0 and it is the first or the last block of the
  datatype. Thanks to Marchand Aurelia for pointing this out.
- Fix the value of MPI_ERRCODES_IGNORE to be a (int *) 0 instead of
  (void *) 0. Thanks to James Fang for pointing this out.
- Add fix to set TCP socket buffer size to run-time value of
  ssi_rpi_tcp_short / ssi_rpi_crtcp_short in all rpi modules, as
  relevant.
- Change the lam-helpfile to correct the error in lamboot synopsis.
  Add '-s' and delineate the options -bdhHlsvVx. Thanks to Richard
  Hadsell for pointing this out. Also correct all those cases where
  all options were lumped together.
- Fix minor prototype problem with lam_ksignal(). Thanks to Satya
  Gosula for pointing this out.
- Make network interface code allow for arbitrary numbers of
  interfaces on the localhost. Thanks to Neil Storer for pointing
  this out.
- Add dependant libraries for the PBS TM library on Solaris. Thanks
  to Tom Crockett for pointing this out.
- Fixes to the SGE detection logic for the session directory. Thanks
  to the SGE Development Team for assistance with the correct logic.
- Updates to documentation about Globus module. Thanks to
  Siva (sbandham) for pointing this out to us.
