Hi,

I have developed a system using the master/slave technics in pvm which
works fine on the RS6000. However, I recently ported the system to SUNMP
on Solaris 2.5 and found that my slave processes remain in a <defunct>
state in the host, and are still listed in the console (ps -l), after
normal termination of the parent process. Are there special conditions
that need to be included for shared memory systems? 

I hope that someone can help.
