Are you looking back by date to find the last successful build?

Unfortunately I'm now at home with errands to do; I didn't discover
until 6:00 that the I/O problem was so serious.

Playing binary search through svn revision numbers is definitely the
next line of attack, but I may not be able to get to it until ~8am
tomorrow.  If anyone has a chance to try that first I'd appreciate it.

yes, that fixed the problem in ex4. I'll compile my code and test it
later today and will let you know if there are any other problems.

There are definitely other problems.  There appears to be an I/O
regression that's unrelated to the libHilbert change.  I'm still
trying to track that down, but it's nasty - whereas the libHilbert bug
was only affecting a couple codes, this I/O regression even triggers
on ex10...

Ah I see. I do not use AMR extensively these days and so most of my
test problems have been working smoothly without encountering the
error you mentioned. I assumed this was a very specific bug that
occurred only after several refinements. If this is the case, can I
fall back to enabling Hilbert library ? Or would it be safer to wait
for your implementation to be checked in before I start running in
parallel ?

My implementation's checked in now.  Whether it's safer to trust code
that hasn't been thoroughly tested or code that has been found to fail
in a few hard-to-find cases is a matter of opinion.  I'd appreciate it
if you'd run with the new implementation, though, so that we start
getting that more thoroughly tested ASAP.  That seems like the fastest
way to get back to "safe".  The libHilbert issue appeared to be a
problem in their code, which either means that we have to fix their
code or that we've misunderstood the problem; either way it may take
us a while to make it safe to turn that back on.
