Hello there,

I have been using pvm on a set of SGI machines and have noticed that the
daemon dies when an errant slave is killed. Now, if I remember right the
pvm3.3.4 was supposed to have fixed this bug that existed in previous
releases of pvm. I have a transcript of one such session enclosed below.
Has anybody else noticed this? Can somebody tell me what to do if I am 
wrong? or can this bug be fixed?

regards,
shrinivas
