Subject: How to halt PVM without terminating calling program?

I'm writing a fairly large program and I would like to be able to
initiate and terminate PVM from within it, perhaps more than once.
Unfortunately, pvm_halt() terminates the caller.  I've tried forking
and invoking pvm_halt() inside the child, but the caller is still
being terminated.  Does anyone have an idea of an approach that will
work?

Many thanks in advance.

..Adrian
