Juergen:

Thank you for trying this test. It will help us track down the problem.

Attached find a small patch to libsrc/posixio.c which will workaround the
problem for now. Apply the patch on AIX and rebuild the library.

Since the cray uses ffio.c instead of posixio.c, you do _not_ need
to apply the workaround there.
