That's surprising, the 2.6.2 release didn't include any changes to  
the servers from 2.6.1.  Did you get any messages in the server logs  
on the nodes that died?

There aren't any other significant fixes in 2.6.2 besides support for  
the latest Berkeley DB release, and the misc-bug patch that you  
mention, so using 2.6.1 shouldn't be a problem for you.  That being  
said, if the servers crash for you on 2.6.2, its likely that they  
will do so with 2.6.1 and you just haven't hit it yet.  I'd also like  
to figure out exactly what is causing the servers to crash.  Can you  
send your MPI-IO program to us?
