This used to happen because the pvmd wrote them to its stdout, which
was the same as the console's.  Now the pvmd operates "quietly".

To get the output, you can either "tail -f" the log file (I don't
recommend people do that, because the output shouldn't really be
going _there_ either) or use the PVM output collection feature,
"spawn ->".  For programs started by hand, you can call
pvm_catchout in the master executable to have it collect output
from anything it spawns.

Hope this helps,
