I am trying to debug an application using pvm on a network of alphas.
I am using the ALPHAMP version of pvm 3.3.8.
The app runs fine for a few thousand iterations and then I get

libpvm [t40004]: da_new() Warning: shared buffer full, using malloc

where is this coming from ?

The performance becomes terrible after this and then the app dies in
some cases.  I am multi-threading my app. I have two threads doing
output (sends) and one thread that does input.

Thanks.

Ranga.
