Kollár and Kovács's Question on Cohomology of Fibers

Kollár and Kovács asked whether the first cohomology of the structure sheaf of the fibers must be constant for a flat projective morphism to a smooth curve whose fibers are Cohen-Macaulay and reduced and whose generic fiber is smooth. It need not be: such a morphism exists with non-constant first cohomology.
