A recent upgrade to the system software on NERSC's HPE Cray EX system, Perlmutter, revealed a shortcoming in GASNet-EX which renders the 2022.9.0 release (and earlier) non-functional on that system.  Today we have released GASNet-EX 2022.9.2, now available for download from gasnet.lbl.gov, to address that issue and one other.  The ChangeLog entry appears below.
