Sweet!

Great!  I saw there was another MPICH2 release, and I saw a ROMIO patch or 
three go by on the MPICH list recently.  Do you expect there to be major 
differences between what you have and those changes?

I don't have any parallel filesystems to test with, but if someone else in the 
community could confirm/verify at least one or two of the parallel filesystems 
supported in ROMIO, I think we should bring this stuff into the trunk soon.

Did this patch get pushed upstream?

Do you mean that we should be returning an error string "**iobaddisp" instead 
of "MPI_ERR_ARG"?
