[itsdb] [incr tsdb()] and PVM problems

[Francis Bond]

Some more data:

I am getting a similar problem.  Part of it seems to lie in the fact
that pvm has constructed a socket:
/tmp/.pvm.socket.bond.ronf

but cheap/itsdb seems to be looking for
/tmp/.pvm.socket.bond

"ronf" is the machine's name

I don't know if this is related to the fact that the machine is not
connected to the internet.

Halting pvmd3 (using pvm) and restarting it leads to the same problem.
