[Steve B. <Ste...@an...>]

We have just uploaded dacapo-2006-10-MR1. This is a maintenance  
release containing minor improvements over release 2006-10. This  
includes one bug fix (xalan) and two improvemetns to the interface.  
Releases 2006-10-MR1 and 2006-10 are fully compatable workloads.

Changes: Xalan benchmark harness now closes input and output files  
explicitly. Prevents running out of file handles in large heaps  
(where finalizers never run). Added "-ignoreValidation" command line  
switch. Changed jikesrvm stubs so that MMTk callback works with  
recent JikesRVM releases (and hopefuly now with future JVMs that use  
MMTk).
