Dear PVM3 wizards

Please excuse if this is a FAQ:

I installed pvm3.3.10 on a Sparcserver 1000 with two CPU's (ARCH=SUNMP).

When running the example "master1" (in the directory ~/pvm3/examples) the
slave1 programs become <defunct> and will not disappear until I halt pvm.

When I run an application calling the slaves 10^5 times the same happens...

Any hint is appreciated as I am not yet very familiar with all these topics!

Thanks a lot!
