I have tried to get pvm working.  I have used gcc and SparcWorks cc.  
Both have been giving me some problems.

master1 in the examples directory hangs.  One of the daemons ends up 
taking up 100% of the cpu while calling sendto().  The remote ping times 
out (from what I can gather), and the host is dropped.  The daemon never 
seems to return (or at least runs past 300:00 cpu time).

As an associated question, shouldn't the CFLAGS be -mt, rather than 
-lthreads, for Solaris?  -mt links some other libraries and #defines some 
things.  I thought that may have solved the problem, but it still hung.
