Hi Tom,

After applying the patch you provided the error is now:
    09/11-17:47:17.20 intel-S2600WFD DAOS[11713/11713] bio  ERR  src/bio/bio_xst   09/11-17 ream.c:369 bio_spdk_env_init() Failed to init SPDK thread lib, Unknown error -1003 (-1003)

the original one was:

   DAOS[7642/7642] bio  ERR  src/bio/bio_xstream.c:367 bio_spdk_env_init() Failed to init SPDK thread lib, DER_INVAL(-1003)

The whole /tmp/daos_server looks like:
