I really wish we could rule this as a Chiba-specific bug, since it is so
hard to reproduce elsewhere or we would have known by now! :)
Since, I was using the vfs interface and not the mpi-io interface,
I can only think of the simultaneous create and unlink being the issue
here.
The other possibility is a bug in the aio libraries on Chiba...
If any one has any insights or seen similar behavior, do let us know!
thanks,
Murali
