Patch #3 contains various bug fixes:

. pvmputenv() incorrectly matched environment substrings - PVM_EXPORT
  now works correctly.

. LINUX.def defines RSHCOMMAND as /usr/bin/rsh.

. fixed schentry() coredump (when using rm|tasker|hoster on alpha).

. fixed bug causing RS6K to hang (write() to socket longer than 4096).

. fixed psend and precv formats in console trace output (hex tid).

. fixed syntax in pvm_catchout man page.

. pvm_config man page is more clear about ownership of hostp[].

. pvm_tasks man page is more clear about ownership of taskp[].

. lib/pvmgetarch uses /usr/convex/getsysinfo instead of getsysinfo.

. CM5 examples makefile was missing stuff.
