if you are using Intel Fortran, then I think your open() failures will
probably continue even with latest Lustre, but at a lower rate. see
  https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23978

this bug has flown under the radar a bit as it causes fairly cryptic
app failures, and only Intel fortran hits it with any frequency.
what the user sees usually just looks like a failed open with an oddly
corrupted filename string.
