Hi, pvm experts!

I have a problem with pvm_spawn.

When I spawn 12 processes over 6 processors using PvmTaskHost
by calling each name twice, I am getting SEGV:segmentation violation.
On the other hand, when I spawn the same with PvmDefault, it works fine.

When I spawn 12 processes over 12 processors using PvmTaskHost,
I am still getting the same run time error messages.

It works fine with up to 6 processors using PvmTaskHost wiht any combination
of hosts.

There is no error message either by pvm_spawn or by the 6th task id array.

Did anyone have similar experiences?

Please email me and enlighten me.

Thank you.
