Hi,

the pvm documentation says, that the groups-program is invoked by the
first call to a group-function.
Maybe pvmgs doesn't like NOT to be spawned by another process. I don't
know why it worked on the SunOS - maybe by chance.
Try starting just pvm and then executing a program with group function
calls - it's supposed to work.

bye,
