Thanks, going to report this. As usual I'm running lustre stress tests and 
with ipath cards I'm able to triggre a known bug in lustre, which occurs very 
rarely without ipath cards. The error message above is from the point of time 
not very closely related and  happens also much less often than the lustre 
bug, but at least its a message from the ipath controller... .


Thanks again,
Bernd
