PVM guarantees in-order delivery of messages between pairs of tasks,
but does it guarantee the triangle inequality?  I.e. if we have three
tasks A, B, and C.  A first sends a message directly to C, and then A
sends a message to B which in turn forwards it to C.  Is it guaranteed
that the direct message will arrive before the indirect message?

Thanks,
