We are trying to run the sample programs for PVM that came
with the PVM User's Guide, specifically the matrix multiplication
(mmult.c) and the heat transfer problem (heat.c heatslv.c).
When running mmult, most of the time there are one or more
tasks that continuously wait.  In the case of heat.c, one of the 
slave tasks causes a segmentation fault.

If anyone has an explanation for this behavior, we would appreciate 
hearing it.  We are running PVM on SSPARCstation 10's (SUN4 architecture).

Also, we would appreciate if someone could point out more sample
programs for PVM, and the CRL package from MIT.
