I am sorry I can't, up to now, reproduce the following
feature with a small c program.

I have a task "foo" which code is rather complex but
no spawn occurs in this code.

when I spawn this task "foo" with:
pvm_spawn ("foo" ,NULL, 0 ,0, "" ,1&tids),
 it enters in a loop and spawn 
a copy of itself which do the same etc...

And I can assure there is no spawn in the code of "foo".

Any one has an explanation?

I use a virtual machine with 1  sparc classic running
sun4.sunos.4.1.3C.
(pvm3.3.1 release)

If someone can help.
