I just was on a machine at UNM running gm-1.2.3 where the mpi processes
were hung. I tried gm_board_info and that hung. Trying to kill the processes
using kill -9 did not kill them at all.  We know there are some
broken locking issues in gm-1.2.x and we're expecting to have them addressed
in gm-1.4.
