[Pvfs2-developers] failed assert in id_gen_safe_register()

[Sam Lang]

Hi Scott,

You don't need to use id_gen_safe for your ids.  If you switch to  
using id_gen_fast_register, it should fix the abort you're seeing.   
The abort is caused by the gen_safe code not being initialized by  
default on the server now, unless components actually need to use it.
