[mpich-discuss] A differnt question on Linux

[Darius Buntinas]

Deji will have to give the definitive answer (he's the guy who packages 
the redhat/fedora/centos binaries), but it looks like that number 
indicates the build number.  The builds may differ in configure options 
or (non-Argonne) patches.  Generally speaking, you can treat it as an 
extension to the version number.
