Hi Calvin,
Thanks for this feedback. Concerning rc3, there are still
some issues with a 32-bit O/S. You wrote that you were testing
Fedora 19 on the Atom N550. Is that running in 32-bit mode?
Also, just to confirm, I assume that you are interrupting a function
prior to checkpointing, and then checkpointing and restarting.
It's in this case that you see a segfault on restart.
Is this correct?
rc2 and rc3 have known bugs in terms of supporting 32-bit mode.
After rc1, we changed our restart algorithm a little. In the
next few updates this week, we're hoping to fix the 32-bit mode.
Thank you for the further details. We'll especially
look into why ocaml should be more sensitive than R/python.
Best wishes,
- Gene
