Hi colleagues,

we're using PVM Version 3.3.2 (Shared Memory Version) on
Sun Sparc Center 1000 and get the following error messages
in file /tmp/pvmt.<user-id>:

	libpvm [t4000c]: ref = -1 on page -<some integer>
	libpvm [t40008]: peer_send(): outgoing buffer full

Our Shared Memory configuration is set to the advised one:

	200 memory segments per process

Note, the PVM application consist of up to 8 processes,
communicating another. The amount of messages in the system
are thousands (!!!) of them per second. The application 
runs stable in a network of Sun Workstations connected via
Ethernet.

Any help is appreciated. Please send your comments to 
knut@uni-paderborn.de or kel@uni-paderborn.de.
