If 2^18 = 262,144 then
it shouldn't be a limit of PVM. I have my test program that sends and
receives vector of integers up to 500,000 elements without any problem.
It could be your limitation on available memory.

My program runs on Sparc-20 (64M RAM), Pentium-100 (16M RAM), and 486-66
(16M RAM) using PVM 3.3.10 and Solaris and Linux 1.2.13 repectively.

Check your malloc...!
Hope this helps.
