Known Issues:
Recent versions of IBM's xlC compiler suite expose alignment/padding
issues in the runtime code, leading to application crashes. If you
encounter problems after moving to a new compiler, please check the
download page for an update or contact us at

 for
a patch. This is fixed in the development tree of Charm, which will
eventually be released as Charm 6.2.
