On Convex SPP systems PVM uses shared memory for communication. The amount of
such memory has to be set by the system administrator at boot time for every
subcomplex. Maybe you are working on a subcomplex without globally shared
memory. You can find out with:

    sysinfo -memn     (on a per-hypernode basis)
      or
    scm -c | grep -E 'SC=|GMEM='  (per subcomplex)
