Our investigation showed a couple of things.  When we pulled our systems off 
into a small cluster and ran opensm, things were fine.  The cache was working as 
normal, and we did get loopback paths from opensm.

On our development cluster, the cache was never getting any path records.  It 
would issue a GetTable query, and the SM would respond.  The response had a 
status of 0 (success), but never returned any path records.  I believe that the 
SM node is running OFED 1.1.1.

I don't have the ability to modify the kernel on the larger 64-node cluster that 
we were testing on to see what is going on there.
