I had posted this before as a problem that I had with 3.2.2. However,
the same error recurs with pvm 3.3.1. Would any one know why this
happens? Any hint at all would be appreciated.

Also, the following problem now occurs much later as compared to
pvm 3.2.2, but it does occur.

----

I have an application that runs on top of pvm 3.2.2 (3.3.1 now). The problem
is that at random times, i.e., sometimes very soon after the program
starts and sometimes much later, the host console will give this error:

netoutput() timed out sending to <machine_name> after 23, 194.24140
hd_dump() ref 1 t100000 n <machine_name> ar "SUN4" lo ""
sa 130.207.114.58:3211 mtu 4096 f 0x0 e 0 txq 2
tx 65537 rx 0 rtt 0.003648

The 130.207.114.58 is the address of <machine_name>.

After this, though the pvm daemon is still running there, the master host
thinks it is dead and removes it from the config, and all later packets
from it are marked bogus packets. And all this of course screws up my
application.

----

Thanks in advance for any help,

cheers,
