I want to re-submit this message as it appears that my original message didn't
arrive.  I am running my PVM application in a master/slave configuration.
In the slave processes, I repeatedely fork child processes which 
exec'd() the GAMS application (a mathematical programming language/solver).
This application prints some things to the screen.
When I run my PVM application on a ONE machine virtual computer, but
with multiple slaves, the application runs correctly.
When I attempt to introduce additional computers onto the virtual machine,
the slave on the additional computer is unable to successfully launch
the forked exec'd() application.
Any ideas??
Thanks for any help, Charlie Rosa (rosa@iiasa.ac.at)
