I just compiled pvm on AIX 4.3 on a power3 system and it does not work
properly.  I got exactly the same result (shown below) using xlc/cc and
vac.  I haven't yet tried gcc but this suggests that this is a system
issue not a compiler one.

When I try to run the hello test program I get:
[t80040000] netinput() FIN|ACK from mac
[t80040000]  hd_dump() ref 1 t80000 n "mac" a "" ar "RS6KMP"
[t80040000]            lo "" so "" dx "" ep "" bx "" wd "" sp 1000
[t80040000]            sa 128.148.37.26:59514 mtu 4036 f 0x0 e 0 txq 0
[t80040000]            tx 6 rx 4 rtt 0.240920

In the log on the server.  "mac" is the ibm system.  I'm running pvm
3.3.11 with this system as one node and a sun running solaris 2.6 as the
other node.  The Sun is the server (master pvmd) and hello works fine when
it spawns on it. But when it spawns on the ibm this happens and the
program just hangs.  I get the same result when I run hello from the
command line on the aix machine.

Is this a know problem?  I honestly don't have any idea how to interpret
that log message.  Thanks.
