<div>RGB,</div>
<div>Are you using 3.4.5 re "improved use on Beowulf..."? I was thinking along the lines of the script invoking PVM doing something to reboot or refresh the network, and saw "New features in PVM 3.4.x include communication contexts...". I'd be happy to read a perl or Cish thing if an extra pair of eyes might notice something, but I don't know where to start.</div>
