I am trying to use PVM in a multi-threaded application on a DEC alpha .
What are the thread safety problems in the current PVM that I have
to worry about ? (I downloaded the latest and greatest 3.3.8 version).

I have mutexes around all pvm_sends and pvm_pk*. 
What else do I need to worry about ?

While running on one machine, I find that after several thousand
sends and receives, the data gets corrupted. Does this sound familiar
to anyone ? 

Thanks.
Ranga.

(What did you say ?  my  bug ? nah ! couldnt be. :-)
