I had the same problem with the pvm_config function (PVM3.3.4). After
calling pvm_config some of my data structures (tables and lists) got corrupted.
Furthermore, I was not always able to reproduce the error.

I took a look at the source code of pvm_config and noticed that it uses
pvm_mkbuf. So your experiment with pvm_mkbuf could be an explanation
of the problems I had with pvm_config (even though I never had problems
with pvm_mkbuf directly).
