I am using a parallel program on a number of DEC ALPHA workstations. Th 
eprogram is written ion FORTRAN 90. The program was OK few days ago but now I 
am getting the following message]

libpvm [t40002]: pvm_mkbuf(): Malloc failed

And then program stops. I know this message appears when memory allocation is 
failed and no buffer can be made on the system. I deleted some files on the 
disk to provide the necessary space but the problem still persist. I have run 
the problem for bigger memory requirements in the past with no problem and  I 
am puzzeled what the real reason might be. I appreciate any hints and thoughts 
that can help me to solve the problem please email me on
