Well, let's try :-)

I have 2 machines; for Berg's sake, let's call them wozzeck (p200) and
doktor (dual PII/450).
When I start pvm form doktor, I automatically add wozzeck, so I get
this:
1 successful
                    HOST     DTID
     wozzeck.localdomain    80000
3.3.11
t40001
2 hosts, 1 data format
                    HOST     DTID     ARCH   SPEED
      doktor.localdomain    40000    LINUX    1000
     wozzeck.localdomain    80000    LINUX    1000
pvm>
Then I exit, pvm still runs, and I am ready to continue.
Now I start pvmpov with an ini file that contains the following lines:

pvm=on
pvm_hosts=wozzeck.localdomain,doktor.localdomain,doktor.localdomain,doktor.local

domain,doktor.localdomain
pvm_slave=x-pvmpov
pvm_width=20
pvm_height=20
pvm_tasks=5
pvm_nice=0

The duplicate hosts enable me to run 4 clients on the fast machine,
which is the fastest way to go.

 3.00 of blocks complete.

The calculation is quite long and if I interrupt it, I get no special
output, pvmpov exits, but ps gives:

 7710  p0 S    0:00 -bash
 7728  p0 S    0:00 /usr/pvm3/lib/LINUX/pvmd3

-nI/home/francois/POV
 7741  p0 R    0:00 ps

And on wozzeck, I still have:

  974  ?  S    0:19 /home/francois/pvm3/bin/LINUX/x-pvmpov
-nI/home/francois/POV

Note that in the present case, the tasks are stopped, but sometimes they

continue to run and to eat time.

Is anyone able to repeat that bug?

Jakob
