I am having a little bit of trouble debugging spawned tasks on remote
hosts. If I spawn a task on a remote host with pvm_spawn(), specifying
PvmTaskDebug+PvmTaskHost the task does not start. If I just use
PvmTaskHost, then it starts OK. I have exported the DISPLAY variable, so
it should know where to display the xterm. If I only specify PvmTaskDebug,
it always spawns the debug tasks on the local host not the remote host.
I'm not sure what's going on. Can anybody help out?

Thanks,
