Hi, Everyone, Happy New Year.
Thanks to sharp eyes of Preeti Gupta, we are able to track down an insidious little problem with the use of /dev/random in FastBit code. The particular use was actually in the initialization of a static global variable, it was causing delays before the start of the function main, which is a unusual problem to detect. This problem was present in FastBit ibis1.3.3 and ibis1.3.4. If you are using one of these version, please move to the latest version ibis1.3.5. You may find a brief description about this release at <https://codeforge.lbl.gov/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=357>. The source tar ball can be downloaded at <https://codeforge.lbl.gov/frs/download.php/401/fastbit-ibis1.3.5.tar.gz>. This release also contains a patch from Patrik Nisen and contributions from others. Thanks. John _______________________________________________ FastBit-users mailing list [email protected] https://hpcrdm.lbl.gov/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fastbit-users
