I have a LAM application which forks a new process on each node.  This 
child process is then responsible for user interaction.  If I start my
application on each node manually, this is no problem.  However, using
mpirun, stdout is displayed correctly on the screen, but stdin of the
forked process is not connected to the keyboard.  This problem occurs
with or without the -w option of mpirun.  Does anyoune know a
workaround?

Thanks,
Justin

System configuration:
Sun Sparc 20
Solaris 2.4
LAM 6.0
