The following problems have been reported during testing of the SPECseis96.
Proposed fixes are also noted.  Please forward any problems
encountered to 'hpgsupport@spec.org' for inclusion in this list.

Problem 1:
        Phase 3 is most sensitive to validation errors. 
        Occassionally, results are correct for Phase 3 even when the phase
        does not verify.
Workaround:
        Indicate the validation problem in submitted results and discuss in
        SPEC HPG.

Problem 2:
	NFS demons can become overloaded during disk I/O when multiple
	tasks write to the same file.  Symptoms are excessively long
	write times, and gaps in files.  This problem is very common on
	workstation clusters, and sometimes is seen on SMP's.
Workaround:
	Compile 'sbfio.c' with -DLOCK to invoke NFS file locking 

Problem 3:
	Programs hang during the imaging phase of the 3D migration
	runs on machines running PVM.  Most commonly occurs on SMP's.
	The cause is long messages swamping the PVM demon.
Workaround:
	Compile 'message.c' with -DSERIAL to serialize message passing
	during transpose operations.  On SMP's that support System V
	shared memory operations, -DSHMEM can be used to substitute
	shared memory for the transpose.
Proposed fix:
	Add blocking to the 'jsend/jrecv' routines to send long 
	messages in more manageable pieces.

Problem 4:
	On SMP's supporting system V shared memory only a single job
	may be run at a time, due to using a fixed key for shared
	memory segments.
Workaround:
    Run one job at a time.
Proposed fix:
	Add support for generating unique shared memory keys.
