1.10 Miscellaneous

1.10.1 pvm_exit Blocks to Wait for an Available Receiver

A PVM task can send messages before a receiver task is available to read those messages. Such messages are queued in the sender task. If the sender task calls pvm_exit before a receiver task is available to read a message then the pvm_exit will block until a receiver task becomes available.

1.10.2 -pthread Compile-Line Argument Needed

The -pthread argument must be included on the compile line.
