I have a problem with the speed values to be given in the hostfile.
No matter whether I use the "* sp=2000" syntax or explicit "host sp=4000",
this affects only one machine, namely the master where I start "pvm hostfile".
It gets the speed value given in the last "* sp=" line. And this works only 
if I omit the master from the hostfile (in contradiction to the man page).

The second problem is : If I have a configuration like 
pvm> conf
3 hosts, 1 data format
                    HOST     DTID     ARCH   SPEED
                  ikarus    40000 SUN4SOL2    8000
                   eagle    c0000     SUN4    1000
                   comet   100000 SUN4SOL2    1000
pvm> 
and I spawn 10 slaves, they get equally disrtibuted between the 3 machines.
I would have expected 8 to get started on ikarus, and one on eagle and comet...

Any insight anyone ?
