In my MT PVM implementation on SMP, I use a general linked list to 
link all the resources of every PVM task (they are thread now!) together
so as to make them easier to manage and search and the modified code is 
as efficient as the original PVM.

I am going to establish a home page for the stuff I did and the source
will be available soon.
