I don't think there would be much of a performance impact. With GPFS it
might actually even be a positive impact (especially with v1.0).

I don't really have ideas why it was working with a previous v1.0
version but not with v1.0.15. Although perhaps I have just added more
error checks and the previous version just handled the error condition
wrong..
