Hi,

I have just tried to run Master1 and Slave1 from the examples and 
encounter these problems when I entered greater than 32 for the number of 
slaves.  I have 2 HPPA in my virtual machine configuration.

Problem 1 :	Master1 seemed to spawn slaves endlessly when I entered 34.
Problem 2 :	Master1 seemed to hang.  Some slaves didn't return a message
		to the master1.

When I used 'ps' in pvm console, I saw slaves running in both the HPPAs.

Has anyone seen these problems?  What could they be due to?

Maybe I will try to use pvm_trecv in place of pvm_recv to see whether 
problem 2 can be solved.

Thanks in advance.
