I experience errors when using pvm_send() after packing more than
about 1800 bytes into the message buffer.  This does not happen when
sending a messages between tasks on the same host, only when the
message has to go over the ethernet.  I'm using Linux.  

Is there a limit to the size of messages that can be 
passed.  Is this limitation due to TCP/IP?
