It's the problem of RedHat5.x. In RedHat5.x, glibc is installed
insteady of old libc which is installed in the previous version
of Linux.
But pvm3.4 is successfully installed in Redhat5.x.
If you want to use pvm3.3.11 in Linux, then degrade Redhat version
or compile pvm3.4 on RedHat 5.x

In my experience, glibc which installed in Redhat5.x, has some
compatibility problems, so I removed redhat5.1 and reinstall 4.2 at
yesterday. In malloc, glibc is less tolerable than libc.
So, if you have minor mistakes in your code, it can't be run!
