Sorry, forgot to mention this in my previous email: Luca and me did use 
both parameters.

How about the other two CarpetIOHDF5 testsuites ? Could you check when 
they broke for you ? Was it after this new feature had been introduced 
(beginning of May) or before (back in February, with the "CarpetLib: Do 
not restrict to points they are used for boundary prolongation" patch) ?

As a side note: can we have the Carpet development version periodically 
tagged in darcs, say, every month when you send out the status report ? 
I think that would simplify the process of reverting back to an older 
state. Currently I have to do this on a patch basis. But usually I don't 
know what patch could have broken something, I only know (with some 
certainty) that something still used to work at a specific time.
