Subject: problem installing pvm3.3 on hp300/400

I've encountered a problem installing PVM 3.3 and
PVM 3.3.1 on Apollo HP400 (425) running HP UX 9.0
(PVM 3.2.6 and lower are running without problems)

When I start the console (no daemon running) and
PVM_ARCH is not set in the environment, then I get
the following error message:
libpvm [t40001]: mxfer() EOF on pvmd sock
libpvm [t40001]:  Console: Can't contact local daemon

But there exists now the file /tmp/pvmd.501 with:
7f000001:0931


When PVM_ARCH=HP300 is set, then I can start the
console. I can issue commands like help or version
with the correct responses. But when I issue a
command like  conf  I get the following error
message and pvm quits:
pvm> version
3.3.0
pvm> conf
libpvm [t40001]: mxfer() EOF on pvmd sock
libpvm [t40001]: pvm_config(): Can't contact local daemon
pvm> libpvm [t40001]: mxfer() EOF on pvmd sock
libpvm [t40001]: pvm_nrecv(): Can't contact local daemon

There exists two files in /tmp afterwards, which contain:
7f000001:0934   (pvmd.501)
[t80040000] ready  3.3.0   Tue Jun 28 12:31:38 1994 (pvml.501)


When I start the PVM daemon first (with the script pvmd or
calling pvmd3 directly), everything is running fine on
the local host. I can now start the console without any
problems (PVM_ARCH needs not to be set) and I can issue
any command I like (conf, ps -a, mstat).

But I can't add other hosts. A call of  add hp20m
gives the following error message and a coredump:
pvmd already running.
pvm> conf
1 host, 1 data format
                    HOST     DTID     ARCH   SPEED
                   hp50m    40000    HP300    1000
pvm> add hp20m
libpvm [t40001]: mxfer() EOF on pvmd sock
libpvm [t40001]: pvm_addhosts(): Can't contact local daemon
libpvm [t40001]: mxfer() EOF on pvmd sock
libpvm [t40001]: pvm_config(): Can't contact local daemon
pvm> libpvm [t40001]: mxfer() EOF on pvmd sock
libpvm [t40001]: pvm_nrecv(): Can't contact local daemon



Any ideas or suggestions to solve that problem ?
Or had anyone similar problems ?
