Having compiled the code for pvm3.4b5 using VC++ 5.0 under NT server 4.0, I am
running into a little trouble. The 'pvm' program starts fine from the console and
both pvm and pvmd are well behaved. If however I 'quit' the console, pvmd starts 
to voraciously gobble up CPU time(~99%), slowing the PII-233 down to a crawl
(there are no pvm-aware programs running). Is this a bug? A mis-configuration?
Any help is very welcome.

p.s. Do the 'trace' features work under Win32? I seem to be getting 'access
violations' from pvm (I.e. >spawn -@ foo) Some NULL pointer dereferencing
floating around?
