Dear fellow FLASHers,

For the record, it appears that the problem that I was having with flash2.5 on 
zeus.llnl.gov was due to the use of -i8 in the Makefile. As suggested by Sheila 
Faulkner here at LLNL, I changed -i8 to -i4 everywhere in the Makefile and was 
then able to run the sedov test problem. According to Sheila, "-i8 on the 
compile line can cause troubles with the MPI library, which expects most of its 
integer input parameters (ranks, counts, etc) to be 4 byte integers." I don't 
know if this impacts other setups, and I don't know what other problems this 
change might cause, but so far things look good.

Fingers crossed ...

Chris Mauche
