Subject: PVM & Lisp on SPARC: setsockopt hangs ?

I'm trying to run PVM 2.3? from Sun Common (Lucid) Lisp 4.0 on a SPARC IPC.

PVM creates a couple of sockets and then calls setsockopt():

bsz = DEFMAXXMLEN * 2;
if (setsockopt(ogsock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, &bsz, sizeof(bsz)) == -1)

From a C program it works fine, but when called from Lisp
setsockopt() never returns.  getsockopt also hangs.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to get around it?

Thanks.
