Thanks.  I put it in the patch/ dir in the cvs and updated the READMEs
to point to it too.  I won't roll a new release just now but did add
a note in the LAM section of the web page about the existence of a
patch to 6.5.8.

Great.  I hope the authors of that know they are welcome to plunder any
bits from mpiexec that might be helpful, particularly how to deal with
the recalcitrant TM layer and ideas on handling stdio streams.  Let me
know when you think that the LAM-PBS interface is solid and I'll add
some comments about that in the documentation.
