 Several tests fail with very large differences or NaNs with Intel 11, but
 not with later versions of the compiler.  We suspect this is due to a
 buggy implementation of Cray pointers, newly used in GRHydro since the
 last release.  The affected tests are:

 {{{
     GRHydro_test_shock_mp5 (from GRHydro)
     GRHydro_test_shock_ppm (from GRHydro)
     GRHydro_test_shock_weno (from GRHydro)
     tov_slowsector (from GRHydro)
     diag_flip_pugh_eno (from Hydro_InitExcision)
     diag_pugh_eno (from Hydro_InitExcision)
     halfsphere_pugh_ppm (from Hydro_InitExcision)
     sphere_pugh_ppm (from Hydro_InitExcision)
     x_flip_pugh_eno (from Hydro_InitExcision)
     x_pugh_eno (from Hydro_InitExcision)
 }}}

 Roland is going to try to implement a workaround for the compiler bug.
