John Mainzer 3b90c189ca [svn-r9850] Purpose:
1) Provide facilities in cache to allow us to avoid a potential cache
   consistency bug in the parallel case.

2) Clean up a off by one sanity checking bug.

3) Turn off execution of long running tests in debug mode.


Description:

1) In the parallel case, all writes to metadata must be collective,
   but reads may not be.  In pricipal, this allows us to different
   contents in different caches.  This isn't a problem as long as the
   correct data is always on disk, but unless we can force certain
   writes immediately, that need not be the case.

2) & 3) should need no further explanation.


Solution:

1) Add code allowing us to mark cache entries, and then force
   these entries to be flushed at a later time.

   Note that to actually avoid the bug, we will have to modify
   existing code to use these new features.

2) & 3) should need no further explanation.


Platforms tested:

heping (serial debug and production)

committest (copper, sol, and heping).  test failed on heping in the
c++ portion of the build, but at Quincey's siggestion, I am proceeding
with the checkin.

HDF5 version 1.7.45 currently under development
Please refer to the release_docs/INSTALL file for installation instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE.txt file in this directory for information
specific to this release of the library.  The INSTALL file contains
instructions on compiling and installing the library.  The INSTALL_parallel
file contains instructions on installing the parallel version of the
library.  The INSTALL* files can be found in the release_docs/ directory.

Documentation for this release is in the html directory.  Start with the
"index.html" in that directory.

Four mailing lists are currently set up for use with the HDF5
library.

   hdf5         - For general discussion of the HDF5 library with
		  other users.

   hdf5dev      - For discussion of the HDF5 library development
		  with developers and other interested parties.

   hdf5announce - For announcements of HDF5 related developments,
		  not a discussion list.

   hdf5cvs      - For checkin notices of code development on the library,
		  not a discussion list.

To subscribe to a list, send mail to "majordomo@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
with "subscribe <list>" in the _body_, not the Subject, of the message.
E.g., subscribe hdf5 

Messages to be sent to the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu".

Nearly daily code snapshots are now being provided at the following URL:
    ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots
Please read the readme file in that directory before working with a library
snapshot.

The HDF5 website is located at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/

Bugs should be reported to hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
