Thanks go to Kristi Keith for her response. She encountered the same
problem, and HP told her the following:

"Currently we are aware of the problem with security_patch_check failing
therefore there has been a case logged to our lab to further investigate the
issue."

I wrote a wrapper and ran it from cron, and it was working great. Suddenly,
I began getting errors when using security_patch_check, as demonstrated
below:

$/opt/sec_mgmt/spc/bin/security_patch_check -r

We do not use a proxy server, so this is not the problem. Has anyone else
seen this? It's puzzling to me, because like I said, it used to work just
fine. Then it began having problems intermittently. Now, I can't get the
script to be successful anytime.
