While trying to run a pvm3.3.10 program on a Sparc MP system under Solaris 2.4,
we received the following error message:
libpvm [t40002]: da_new() Warning: shared buffer full, using malloc
libpvm [t40002]: peer_send() Message(s) too long for shared buffer, deadlocked.

We tried to tweak the OS according to PVM's Readme.mp file, by
changing the system limit for shared memory resources:
        set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg = 200
        set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax = 134217728
        set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin = 200
        set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni = 200
But this did not help, and we still got those errors.
The program ran fine on a pvm composed of several workstations;
It failed only when we tried to run it on a single Sparc-MP station.

Thanks for your help,
