Hi there,

	I have written an application in PVM. I am using a MASTER/SLAVE
structure and the MASTER spawns as many as 100 SLAVES. To my utter
surprise I find the swap space on the machines decreasing every second
and the system runs out of swap space obviously after some time. 

	Can anyone help me out of this situation ?? Do PVM applications eat-up
the swap space as they run ??

	Kindly mail your reply to venkat@cs.ou.edu

Thanks,
Venkat
