Bryan,
Try, "setenv PFNFYLEVEL 5" before running you app, you'll get more info
on what's going on. Also, what version of IRIX was used to compile your
app?
Once you've gathered more info, post it to this mailing list and we'll see
what we can do.

Bernard: Thanks for repsonding. The notify level is set to 5 but nothing spits out before pfInit() except two lines concerning some ethernet initialization (we use ethernet to gather data from the host simulator). There are just 3 lines before it stops. The app was compiled on an RE2 with 4400's, Irix 5.3, and Perf1.2. The RE2 has been replaced with an IR,R10Ks, Irix 6.2, and Perf 2.1.
