Hint:
In daemon mode, PVM uses UDP, and of course that means it has to split big
messages. If you use direct routing, which almost all PVM programs use
because it's faster, processes open direct tcp connections and don't go
through the daemon.
Since you are using the daemon, there's no excuse for the Linux kernel to be
freezing for that long.

In order to avoid deadlocks with general communication patterns, most
libraries do more sophisticated things.
