Hi Alan:

  Fedora uses a different libm and somewhat different glibc, not to
mention different kernel support.  Hopefully we will be able to explore
differences in the distributions with BBS v2 in a cleaner manner in
short order.

  Note also:  I found a disturbing performance delta using BBS between
2.2.8 and 2.2.9 on the Opteron I am trying to track down and understand.

  BTW:  I had been resisting defining "standard" tests... is there real
interest in this?  Sean Eddy had suggested a much better HMMer test than
the one I had been using, and I plan to incorporate his suggestion in
the base test distribution of v2.
