I am trying to run a program using the SPMD paradigm 
under PVM 3.2.6. I am spawning 4 processes. 

At the pvm console, when I check for the processes, I get
the following information.

pvm> ps
                    HOST        A.OUT      TID     PTID FLAG
                  condor            -        0        - 0x08/a
                  condor            -        0        - 0x00
                  condor           x3    40026    40024 0x04/c
                  condor           x3    40027    40024 0x00
                  condor           x3    40028    40024 0x00


Why would some of the tasks not show a parent task ID? Also,
the same tasks do not seem to have also any a.out file
associated with them. What could be the reason? Is there
something wrong with my program?

Thanks,

-Kishore
