Hello, all.

I am running a PVM 3.3. fortran program on a network of SParc SUN4 machines.

The offending commands seem to be:

     do offset = 1, 10
       call pvmfpack(real4, synt(mint, x+offset, ikopi),tau, 1, info) 
     enddo

and...

     do offset = 1, 10
       call pvmfpack(real4, synt(mint, x+offset, ikopi),tau, 1, info)
     enddo

 It seems that the problem occurs only for floats, and on the send task
 it is: 

   [t80001] libpvm [t80001]: pvm_pkfloat(): Bad parameter 

on the recv side,

   [tc0001] libpvm [tc0001]: pvm_upkfloat(): Bad parameter


The problem is that "Bad Parameter" is not one of the error conditions
listed in the documentation...

Don't know what to do....
