Hi all,
  I'm still having a problem getting PVM to run on an Indigo 2 running
Irix 6.2.  I can't even get the examples to work, as far as I can
tell.  When I run the 'hitc' example problem from within xpvm I get
errors like

libpvm [t40001]: pvm_upkint(): End of buffer
libpvm [t40001]: Unpacking Trace Message: End of buffer


When I run it outside of PVM with the Indigo 2 in the virtual machine 
this doesn't happen (it looks like the code works).  For my own problem,
it looks like the initial call to pvmfmytid() gets an end of buffer error
when I run under xpvm.  If I run without xpvm I get a segmentation fault.
This is all for code which runs just fine when I have DEC alpha's in
the virtual machine.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Thanks

mike
