Check out the hints in ~/pvm3/Readme.mp which offers some suggestions 
on what to do to get aplications running with the shared-memory version
of PVM. The above message looks as if you're running out of buffer space
which you can fix by increasing it. It is probable that the reason you 
are running out of buffer space is because shared-memory PVM is not freeing
up messages after they have been sent (check out Readme.mp for more details).
