Interesting.. It looks like job_bmi_recv() was returning 1 indicating
immediate completion for the final write ack's receive which seems
impossible..
Sam, Phil: That shouldn't happen, right?
I don't see this on my setup even with -threaded client-cores...

Sam: WHat is the reason for building the -threaded version of pvfs2-client-core?
I forget now..BMI on client drives progress using threads?
The main thread/event loop is certainly  uni threaded as far as I can tell.
thanks,
Murali
