The new version now works without the debugging libraries. An additional
library libtrap.a has to be linked when the debugging libraries are not
used.

The startup routine now sets up a trap handler that ignores all traps.

All traps are reported if the debugger is running.

PS we are currently working on speeding up PVM.  Our best effort so far
is a start-up delay of 300uS for a psend type communication.
