I am trying to get the PVM-Pov of Brad Kline to work on the PowerXplorer,
using Parsytec's PowerPVM.

When calling pvm_spawn, a core dump occurs. This is the debug output:

Core was generated by `./pvmpovray'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

What do I do next? I can't think of anything to find the problem here...
