The following is a command from the pvmd man page for removing
the /tmp/pmvd.UID file corresponding to the user who executing
the command:

 rm `( grep $me\: /etc/passwd || ypmatch $me passwd ) \
          | awk -F: '{print "/tmp/pvmd."$3; exit}'` 

With a small change this obviously can also be used to remove
the /tmp/pvml.UID file.  I have not seen the file you describe,
perhaps because we are using 3.3.4.  I hope this helps.
